None of these tires are the same. This was the toughest one yet to balance.

Now that it's done my back doesn't hurt anymore. Glad I did it anyway.

Yeah, for some reason Excedrin worked f or me as well when the Advil ran dry. As far as I've heard, they don't even know why Tylenol even helps with pain.
Reminds me of that old Gallagher skit, Do you want a pain reliever that works?
Picky sumbitch aren't ya!

Hey Steve , the Whistlepig Rye worked pretty well the other night when I was in last.
It doesn't carry the same do not consume with alcohol as the Advil does

Got a new tire. I tried the 120/90-18 but was disappointed in it. The 130 works for me.

One thing that bugs me about bike tires is that two different flavors even if marked as being the exact same size, and even if both are from the same manufacturer, can be different actual widths. The example below shows 2 Michelin front tires that I owned, both 100/90 V19, but they were different widths by a pretty good margin. The image below shows them unmounted, but the different was still there after they were mounted. BTW, the A48 tires were great but the 50E Macadams were terrible. Ed
