schwalbe...Which tyre

[jkirkebo]

Eddie,

big apples are made in either 2.00 or 2.35. the second one is a baloon n felling like on the sofa but won't fit with mudguards so you better off by getting 2 inch ones.

hope that helps

I have the 2.35" version and they fit just fine inside the mudguards on my Ezee Forza.

all interesting...but the red one especially so

Kevin, have you booked the campsite at Prestigne?

Eddie, come and say hi if you are stopping at the site 1mile from Presteigne...we will be in a caravan with silver Freelander.

Thanks Dave, both our bikes have the Velo Plush seats which I am more then happy with...much better then earlier seats. No its my wrists,arms and shoulders, with lack of any front give that is the problem......

Eddie

I had the same sort of problem more so with my wrists, they just went numb after a few miles so I fitted a set of bar ends which allows me to sit up and take the weight from my arms and shoulders as and when. If they are positioned properly when you are on the main handlebars the bar ends support your wrist area and prevent the cut off of blood. I have since fitted nice foam tubes to them and they are now 100% comfortable. I have them on both my bikes now and Anne has a set on her MTB. Just a thought.

I did not have any problem for all the months I rode wife's 705, but it is latest model with sculptured grips? the ones with palm rests...and have a mirror so no room for bar ends.

Have bought some for my bike, but need to cut them down a bit. I think I will stick with the M+ as punctures are the main concern, and once new grip fitted should be OK...will try less pressure in front tyre as well

just cycling down to vote.......

choices for our presidential style election (fault of media)

heir to a billion £ fortune. 5th cousin to the Queen. allegedly got top job because of pressure from Queens office.

Or

charismatic (to some) snake charmer/chat show host (stop laughing in the back row)

Or

A Flawed but decent and trustworthy man

This one might be the traditional choice for your ward Eddie, I assume the Tory candidate, and many years ago the seat was held for eons by The Right Honourable Duncan Sandys for the Tories.

Personally I'd go for the trustworthy, decent but flawed man, he sounds just like the rest of us!

I just don't "get"' Cameron's motivation...very suspicious
