It's all good. Racer has been very complimentary of you.

120 in the back one, 110 in the front.

That seems awful high. How many plies are the tires made of?

I'm not sure how many plies. But, they're rated to 130psi. So, for my weight, 110-120psi is right. Anything under 90psi and I risk pinch flats.
Some bicycle tyres are rated to 150psi.

All for the sake of rolling resistance Dave. The best tyres rob only 7 watts. Those like mine about 12.5 watts, but for that I get better puncture resistance.

It would go well with the Lycra tights he wears while riding, eh?

But the added drag of a cape might slow him down.

Then again, the added drag would require more effort on his part to move the bike forward, consuming more calories.

A win for Mark in the form of improved health.

Hi Racer

The cape would not always be deployed only for emergencies..

Is the darker floor so it is easier to find the crumbs ?
Or is there just too much light in your neck of the woods..
Oh yes and bacon

Dave

Yes, breadcrumbs

... and trying to tie the room together. It was a little scary going so dark but I think we did the right thing.

That's internal combustion temperature.

Push that piston down!

Gonna have some hop vomit?

When I drove my motorcycle, I never spent too much time beside a rig...a blown tire like that could kill a guy!
