Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Quick presta question
Do presta tubes have smaller "thick spots" (where the valve meets the tube)? My ******** schraeder valves are killin' me! No matter what I do, I can't get the tire seated correctly. So, I'm thinkin' why not go presta?

Nevermind. I think I got it.

God, could I have been any more descriptive in that first post?
