Hippie has a new ride - RC-Monster Forums

It looks fairly bright. I just bought some new bars tonight, they will be here next week. I got them because my bars are uncomfortable while riding in the drops. Have you been following the Tour down under?. You have a AUSSIE ( Robbie McEwen) as the overall leader.

I've heard the name before but I'm not a fan of armchair sports. Those bars look like they would be more comfy, I rarely use the drop down.

So i take it you don't watch the Tour De France, or the Giro d'italia, or the vuelta espana either ?.

or aussie rules footy, or cricket, or soccer. I get some idea of what's going on from the boys at work but it wouldn't phase me if it wasn't there. Don't get me wrong, I like to play sports, just not real big on watching.

This takes BALLS of Steel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iqwARP2BvQ They are reaching speeds of 60 + MPH. This is from the 2003 TDF. The guy that wiped out was never the same after the wreck.

I haven't had any experience with the stuff. If your running over glass I don't expect it will seal a decent gash/slash, things could get messy then.

We carry a spare tube as well as repair kits. The tube is quicker and easier to change and the repair kit is for just in case. I don't know if the slime would work at higher pressure anyway. My bike tires are around 120psi.

If you had mountain bikes I expect the pressure might be 40-60psi I guess the slime would work for that application.
