  12. http://www.schwalbe.com/gbl/en/tech_info/reifenmasse/?gesamt=5&ID_Land=38&ID_Sprache=2&ID_Seite=141&tn_mainPoint=TechnikInfos Why are tires often narrower than the stated tire size? Standard tire widths are calculated using fairly wide, standard rims. Yet in practice, narrower rims are used more often, which in turn leads to tires becoming slightly narrower as well. In order to ensure that tires have sufficient frame clearance, tire manufacturers generally prefer to keep production closer to the lower end of the permitted tolerance (+/- 3 mm). Carcass casing materials have become more and more sophisticated over time, that reduces the tire widening after the fitting. In order to correct this tire widening, over the past few years slightly wider carcasses have been used, so that the actual widths are now much closer to the standard widths. also see: http://www.schwalbe.com/gbl/en/tech_info/reifenmasse/
  13. co2 appears to be a desiccant - removes the moisture (dry ice comes to mind) I use butane bombs

  19. but it's all good.. 2 days after the race and I weigh under 80kg. first time in about 13 years
  20. I did thought it was from the dodgy burger from the Ultra city before Harrismith
  21. of the pedals that come through my office for repairs and service, I have had very few Candy's with broken body's.?
  22. While the Eggbeater and Candy pedals have similar parts, the Candy cannot be converted to an Eggbeater by removing the body.
  23. Crank Brother just launched a new Eggbeater It fits between the Eggbeater C and the Eggbeater S. It has the Eggbeater C axle and the Eggbeater S body - called the Eggbeater SC also consider the Crank Brothers Candy pedals, the are normally about the same price as the equivalent Eggbeater. They have a greater contact area and only weigh about 25-30g more.
