  • I bought a load of Veloflex Corsa’s - 23mm for what I thought was a bargain price , only to find out the labelling was on the wrong side to the directional arrows …. this does my head in whenever I ride them …..
    And thank you everyone for an entertaining read on a wet miserable afternoon.

  • I also heard Conti put rotation arrows on their (edit: bicycle) road tyres so customers would stop bothering them with questions about which way to mount them.

  • No idea about the car tyres, remember that the road attacks had an issue as I had to get the front tyre turned ;)

    EDIT: No idea about the tyres as everyone know conti r deth.

  • I once had a flat tyre.

    It made me sad.

  • Didn’t you once ride a bike?

  • Sad, let down, deflated....

  • Didn’t you once ride a bike?

    Stopped when i got the flat tyre.

  • Just need to save up £45 to get ‘er going again.

  • I stopped and got a fat spare tyre.

  • " I want to get advice and opinions of fellow cyclists here."

    If you get an email with a link offering tickets to a Spice Girls reunion tour, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK! If you do you get offered tickets to a Spice Girls reunion tour.

  • Yes I was. Ironic. I thought the Cycle King one should be better than the LBS one. So the LBS ripped me off. Evil and greedy business!

  • Eseman keeps judging, condemning, criticizing and insulted me and others take side with him and attack me.

    I think changing tyres is a better choice.

  • I guess I will learn how to change a tyre.

    As I explained, I use capitals to emphasize.

  • If someone stops judging, condemning, criticizing me and completes a lesson of teaching me how to change a tyre skillfully, then I will give them their KFC.

  • You are the worst bike shop I will ever go to which I WILL NEVER!

  • THE LBS RIPPED A CUSTOMER OFF! HE IS WICKED!

    Update: WTF are my caps automatically changed to non caps!?

  • Cycle King shop owner told me it is a good quality tyre and "pretty much the same" as the LBS one. They are also a large bike chain. It is highly doubtful that they are cheating me.

  • You are the worst bike shop I will ever go to which I WILL NEVER!

    Oh thank goodness.

  • Update: WTF are my caps automatically changed to non caps!?

    Also; oh thank goodness.

  • Oh shit, I assumed this would fizzle out once we’d established Panda was a troll but clearly nope!

    Ah, nothing quite like a total fuckwitted idiot doubling down on their own stupidity...

  • Mods abusing their power and changing members' posts. Give me a break!

  • How are the mods abusing their power?

    Seriously come to a drinks event, people will help.

  • How are the mods abusing their power?

    Because they did not allow him to post in cap lock, c'mon @hippy why do you keep doing this to him?

  • Mods abusing their power and changing members' posts. Give me a break!

    Nope. They're program rules. It says IF ALL CAPS, PLZ STOP SHOUTING
