Ahh yes, the 40% "It's actually 50% and we have no idea, but it has to look like we're somewhat informed," prediction.

Hey there Toronto folks. I need a favour. I am planning on sending a bike with my parents to Toronto for a cousin of mine. It needs some work and various parts like a 7 speed cassette and possibly a saddle. Are there any local bike coops or LBSes with used parts etc? Thanks!

Oh yeah...I got Tufo tire sealant as well. Adds 15 gm to the weight..will fill a hole up to 1/8 inch!
Edit. What tires are you currently running that you are having pinch flat probs with?

Wait what? Tubular clinchers? Do you still need to glue them on? How does flat repair work? I don't want to be a weight weenie but wow, was that one of those tubulars you handed to me yesterday cavernmech?

I will give you a great deal on em next time I order. I will let you know.

I met a girl last summer that works for Continental in Germany. She was kinda fat but her talk of discount handmade tires turned me into putty in her hands.
