Literally every bit of data on 25c shows they ride better and roll faster and are more aero. Basically riding 23c is nuts esp with a wide rim.

This. If you're comparing tires like-for-like with similar pressures, 25 will give you the same-or-better speed and a smoother ride. Different tires, though, can make a bike feel completely different, so there are a lot of variables. I have been nothing but happy with the Kenda Kountach pair of 25s that I got at the beginning of this year... they have a lot of miles, are very comfortable, but show almost no wear.

Bikechat: riding a bike sounds like a lot of fun, but I have an embarrassing confession - I never did learn how to ride a bicycle. Every summer from the time I was five until I was twelve, I'd climb on a bike, try to learn, hit the tiniest little bump and panic and stick my legs straight out and fall over and cry because it hurt. Finally I just gave up and learned to enjoy walking everywhere.

It's not too late. Take the pedals off and push one around as a balance bike. Once you get that down, start pushing yourself faster and faster, learn to coast. Then put the pedals on and watch it come together. Bikes are liberating.

I loving wish. This car might be sold to pay for tires for a G Wagen.

89 GTI. 16v with rod knock, but coming with a spare 9A block that's clean as hell, a 16v head, new bumpers, new grill, basically a full extra interior minus seats, and a few other extras.

It needs work, a lot of it, but the price is right. Body is perfect, not a speck of rust.

I may be a tad bit excited.

gently caress that. If I have to dig that deep into this thing, I'm just going to yank the engine out. It's far easier to pull the timing cover with it out of the car, and it looks like it would come out easy enough.

Upside: didn't know there was an inspection hole in the bellhousing (probably had a rubber plug a long time ago), clutch has a decent amount of life left in it.

How did your car end up with that tidy air box, our HHR has this huge monstrosity that sits on top of the engine that's a pain in my rear end, wonder if I can swap that poo poo out.

... that's not the airbox. Just part of the resonator.

You can see the airbox on the left side of this pic (well, part of it). It really is a monster for such a small engine.



The resonator comes off easily, makes cleaning the throttle body pretty easy.

(and good luck if you ever have to replace the thermostat, it's so awesome when everything you dig up about your engine doesn't apply to your engine's cooling system, but stuff for a different engine finally locates the thermostat for you)

I still haven't figured out how the radiator comes out of my car. And with it being 10 years old and having plastic end caps, it'll need replacement sooner or later.

Ayuuuuuup. That whole loving whackjob religious shitlord family. They need to fade from the collective mind and disappear. I feel bad for Josh Duggar's wife - now she's found out not only is he a sexual predator, he's a cheating scumbag as well. But in their little community, the Duggar's control so much power, she'll have a tough time getting out.

I owned a salvage. Insurance had no problem covering it, but there's no point in carrying anything but liability, since if it's wrecked, you'll only get value for it as a salvage too.

If that was not enough, I managed to bump a box onto a car of brake clean, soaking my thigh and phone. FML

I lifted my car off a jackstand today, shoved the jackstand out of the way, and promptly dropped the car.

And heard a crunch.

.... jack stand was now supporting the car by the front bumper and lower radiator support. :downsgun: At least the crack in the bumper is on the underside. I'll probably get some acetone or something to melt the crack together so it doesn't spread. No damage to the radiator support, at least.

Maybe I got a poo poo set of tires from a CL bike. I'll give gp4000 25's a shot. I mean I really like those tires so if I can get away with 25's and have a nicer ride on my aluminium roadie then I'll do it. I'll probably be selling my Fuji D6 2.0 TT bike though. It's a friggen bitch to sell something actually worth money on Houston craigslist these days. Everyone got laid off in oil and gas so nobody's buying poo poo.
