The best thing about a home deep fryer is the thin layer of grease which sticks to every surface in the kitchen, and how if you close your eyes and inhale through your nose anywhere in the house you could swear you were in the kitchen of a wendy's and also how you have a nice bowl of used oil sitting on your countertop at all times. Due to these amazing features I tend to do shallow pan frying if I must. Alas, I will not be able to batter and fry novel objects, but this has never before been a problem for me.

I have an outdoor one too. I originally aquired it to deep fry turkeys but have since realized that having parties where everyone just brings something to deep fry is much more fun. |
So how about those crazy fixed gear bikes eh guys? :)

We're a tandem thread now. Op gets to stoke.

I am ready to ****ing EXPLODE. ARGGGHHH the rims on my track bike are IMPOSSIBLE to get tires on and off of. I have already broken two tire levers and I've NEVER had this much trouble with tires before. I just got them mounted and then noticed that the valve in the rear one wouldn't hold air. So now I have to take the ****ing things off again. And I only have one tire lever left. This is unfriggenbelievable. I haven't been this frustrated in like ever!!!$%$! :mad: Wow... I feel surprisingly a lot better after the above rant :). Thankyou. I love you all.

what tire / rim combo are you attempting? as for the deep frying, i can see the appeal to having one so you can experiment. you'll find the novelty wears off once you stand in front of one all day at work. a deep fried mars bar would be wicked though. i think i saw them for sale in scotland when i was there in 98, along with deep fried sausages, spam patties, every manner of fish and just about everything they could get their hands on. |
The only deep fried thing, apart from good fries or yam frites, is Scotch eggs. mmmmm..... scotch eggs

The tires in question are not cheap by any means. They are Vittoria Open Corsas and the rims are NOS Ambrosio (not sure of the model name but they are polished box-section rims). I've found Vittorias a bit more difficult to mount in general, at least with the Zaffiros and Rubinos that I've had.
The rims are defintely a factor as well though because the Serfas Secas that I have a couple of pairs of go onto or off of my Alex rims or Velocitys so easily but they are much much harder to get onto these Ambrosios. Difficult tire + difficult rim = I go crazy! I snapped another tire lever after my last post. I'm going to have to get some beefy levers for this combo. Damn I just want to try out the tires and I had to give up until I get better levers! What a frustrating evening! Who would have though? Italian tire + Italian rim should work fine right? I'm pretty sure I am far from the first person to mount Vittorias onto Ambrosios. haha "mount". |
