tub/clincher mix
I did a club 10 the other week with a tubular at the front and a clincher wheel at the back. Why? Well I had bought a Planet-X carbon wheel just to see what it was like - never used a tubular tyre before - and my back wheel has a powertap and is a clincher.
Anyhoo, someone made a comment that was something like: "Tubular and a clincher - well, good luck with that!"
I didn't get the chance to ask him what he meant - any thoughts? Is it a safety risk? Or might he have just not like the aesthetics of it all?
Cheers,
Andy

Hi there.
Apart from having to carry twice as many spares I don't see a problem.
Cheers, Andy0 -

Its not like those public warning cartoons that showed you that a car would spin off the road if you mixed radials with cross treads or summat is it ? ;-)
yeah - just the puncture issue - two sets of stuff.0 -

I remember that film from when I was a kid! Surprising how it's been ingrained in the memory. Now, cue footage of rickety Austin 1100 going base-over-apex [1]....

[1] Must be on YouTube somewhere. Ditto the ones about the dangers of retrieving frisbees, kites, etc. from National Grid installations. They were very effective, seeing as they frightened the pants off me every time."It is not enough merely to win; others must lose." - Gore Vidal0 -
Must admit - I've never retrieved a frisbee from a sub-station since.
Damn effective advertising.0 -
Reginald Molehusband was the sort of man who would mix tubs and clinchers...0

Come on Reginald, drive in slowly... Well done Reginald Molehusband!0

Yes, and I've given up flying kites under pylons.cougie wrote:Must admit - I've never retrieved a frisbee from a sub-station since.

Have you noticed how all the current* public safety messages are played only after midnight. It's like the demographic that watch TV late into the night have been identified as a particular hazard to themselves and others. I've started going to bed earlier as a result...
*e.g. don't rev your engine or honk your horn when stuck behind a horse. Horses can kill m'kay...0 -

Well, judging by the other ads on at that time, they're willing to believe there are dozens of seriously sexy girls in their area just desperate to chat, so it's probably a reasonable assumption.0 -
LOL !!
Just waiting to talk to you... Whilst they half heartedly work out on the stepper machine. In their bikinis.
Who rings these numbers ? They seem to stay in business ?0 -

And what's with the extremely c**p stereotype of a lab chemist (says he, defensively, with scientist's hat on)?
