Wow... I feel surprisingly a lot better after the above rant
. Thankyou. I love you all.
each rim / tire brand is bound to have slight variances in size. i know i've had troubles mounting vittoria rubinos on ma3s. in the end i used some old MTB levers from the 90s called "milk levers" or something. about twice as wide as average and stiff as a board.
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.
