I only got about 1000 miles before the amount of flats I was getting became
intolerable. Nevertheless I love these Pari-Motos and I recently bought
more of them. Perhaps I would also love the Loup Loup Pass but get longer
tread life. The thinner sidewalls are a concern though. I have had some

The person in the cube next to my desk and myself share a coffee pot and
bean purchasing. We have an electric grinder that puts out quite a bit of
noise pollution for 5 other people in the general vicinity. (we are all IT
support people in a 20x30ish room).
How much effort is required for this b
exico lately. Their season is too short!

Yes, you just have to match the number of speeds. 9 speed brifters are not
hard to come by. 3500 Sora is about the same as 105 from 6 or 7 years
ago. Or you can look for NOS 105 or even Ultegra 9 speed.

Don't mean to be dense but what is the bolt size needed for the eyelets
that you connect a rack to that are near the rear dropouts? And can these
be obtained at say Home Depot?
I know the head is either 4mm or 5mm, but that doesn't help with the thread
size. Or does it?

You can't make something fly just by making it light. While weight is
certainly a critical parameter in determining performance as stated in
payload/range and speed, no airplane needs to be "light enough to fly". It
needs to have enough lift from it's wings to overcome whatever weight it is

My opinion is that Jan is trying to optimize his tires for randonneuring,
which is fine with me because that's the source of many of the miles that I
put on my Rivendell. I listened to Jan when I was running 700c and
switched from Gatorskins to Grand Bois and I had never been happier. Now
