    Great article as always Al :)

    Sugar really is a major problem in todays societies and it seems a lot of people who exercise are not aware of its pitfalls, either short or long term.

    I know for myself that […]

    Okay now seeing as this is a tyre/tire thread I will conform and use your US spelling as it will take less time to reply and more sense :)

    It is quite common to run tire sizes like you have on your FS and […]

    In reply to: rockclimber posted an update Can anyone suggest a light yet durable tire? View

    Hmmmm not sure if those two words should be used together when talking about the life span of a tyre/tire :)
    I am presuming you are looking for a road tyre/tire after your earlier post rockclimber?
    If so I have seen excellent results from Schwalbe Durano+ foldables.

    Hi rockclimber and I certainly wouldn’t be moving the rear tyre/tire to the front, as that will possibly affect your handling with it being squared off/flat.

    The rear tyre/tire wears at about the rate of […]

    Nice call on the Racing Ralphs Gary, a few people and customers I see use them and swear by them and yeah Al I am with Gary on running such small tyres?Never had much luck running narrow tyres, I tend to stick to 2.0-2.2 depending on conditions. Tyres are not somewhere you want to save weight, find something that works and stick with it :) ”Literally”

    Try turning the tyre around so the tread runs the opposite direction, sounds crazy I know but through experience and trial and error I have found it not always best to fit as suggested by the manufacturer.
    Give it a shot and let me know if it changes anything.

    Now, they are very slick looking tyres :) and with a little less pressure they may corner better than on pigeon poo :)

    Is it the front or rear tyre you are losing through the corners Al?
