@Perra: Less than a tire without inserts inflated to 30 PSI. The whole point (or one of them) of Cushcore and similar inserts is that your sidewalls are physically supported for most of their height. Under lateral loading the sidewall joins the entire width of the insert in resisting rolling. which makes for a much stiffer overall tire system. There are downsides to inserts, but squirmy tires are not one of them.

@Vlad-Putin: OneUp is 4Runner Bike Yoke is Land Cruiser Twice the price, yes, but twice the reliability in the long run.

@zede: The sheer irony of anyone from a European country ragging on any other country about being founded on "constant violence and hate of difference" is hilarious. Pick up a history book some time. Happily, your fellow countrymen in the US don't share your snotty, bigoted, hateful, ignorant attiitude and are generally pretty chill. Turn off the TV and try to be like them.

@mikekazimer: Second shoreboy's comments, the simple green PRO (the purple stuff) is a worry free and effective bike cleaner. Also about the same cost (sometimes cheaper, sometimes pricier).

Standard simple green is a bit caustic, and also should not be used on steel. The industrial simple green (which is purple), is much better for bike applications. Though, if it's staining the laminate, I would be worried about the quality of the resin, because that shouldn't happen.

@ybsurf: Nah, 25 is pretty much normal. Crew are expensive and robots work for free. Ironically prescient article: https://robertjprince.net/2015/02/23/global-container-shipping-bigger-ships-smaller-crews-a-formula-for-disaster/ Gotta keep those profit margins yo.

@Bikerdude137: It's spelled 'skull'.

@zede: Oh dear, couldn't actually back up your claims? Better start spouting every invective that comes to mind, surely that will work. Spend more time riding, less time hating.

@jaydawg69: You should find that actual quote. Like, in a transcript. I will wait.

@zede: Oh dear, you appear to have drunk too much CNN. Find the quote "inject yourself with bleach" by cheeto man. You will have great difficulty, because it doesn't in fact exist. There are any number of articles that will distill a longer statement down to this line in what is frankly a warping of the english language, but "inject yourself with bleach", or any variant theroff, was never said. But now you are claiming cheeto man followers are "retarded" (your word, not mine) for blindly following cheeto man for saying something that they never actually said. So congrats, you have been played like a fiddle by a media complex hostile to both cheeto man and your own well being, you have been conditioned to hate the "other team" as "retards" (again, your word not mine), and remain oblivious to the actual facts of the matter. Charming.
