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

my tube extra toobe p0ped

any tubes that are more hard core?

i dont really care about weight to much.

i think i might have messed it up while putting my tube on my wheel, any special advice for that, its like my tires don't fit the rim...i have a felt f95 with the vittora slicks. and it makes me cringe when i put the tire on the rim.

this was my 3rd time putting a tire on a rim. maybe i just need more experience.

Yeah I think you just need more practice putting tires on.

Reading that is annoying. And it takes longer for you to type like that than to type correctly.

Unfortunately, so long as you continue to type like an illiterate child trying to text message on a bulletin board forum your bike inner tubes will continue to

FAIL
