Try riding anywhere at any speed with the steering locked and let us know how that works out for you. :)

Zipp 404 clinchers. Most stable wheels at speed I've ever personally raced or ridden.

That's funny. Usually there's pure adrenalin and bliss for me going fast, but riding this summer I had that same thought to overcome. It was when the temps bounced up to a high of 114 degrees and I was out in it blasting down a false flat (I commute to work throughout the summer).

My thoughts began to wonder just how hot the blacktop was? The temps on my computer were showing something in the 120 range, so the actual road to tire temp had to be off the chart. I run my tires at max air pressure too (sometimes a couple pounds above) So all I could think of were those poor SUV's that were blowing out Goodyear tires a while back. Not a very zen thought to have while cycling.

After my tires proved to be 'insanely hot' worthy, I didn't think that anymore.

Red Herring.


spoken like someone who has never ridden on rollers. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths that people will go to avoid exposing their own ignorance (and then doing so in the process)
