Point of clarification, @TenSpeedV2 -- are you talking about tires with amber/natural-colored sidewalls in general, or just those cheap ones with thick rubber-coated sidewalls?

Today I've decided to pull my money out of Wells Fargo. The just don't get it.
Recommendations are welcomed. I live in Georgia. They should have an excellent online bill pay interface.

i've got everything with Bank of America, which also owns the Merrill Lynch brokerage firm. Since I'm a premier customer (got lots of $$ there), I pay no fees for just about anything, and their rewards credit card pays extra over the normal amounts. This year I'm getting over $600 in rewards. They have a nice iphone app for managing accounts, bill pay, security alerts etc. Just about anywhere in the USA you can find a BOA ATM.

All those banks are scum. Local credit union is the way to go.

This is what I might do.
I worked for Chase way back when. They fired me. 
Was there about three months and was called down to HR. The woman told me that their background check came back with federal warrants, that I was wanted for drug trafficking and something about explosives. They showed me to the door. Transunion or Equifax did the background check.
Needless to say...
I went home and called the New York City FBI office, gave them my name and told them about the background check and supposed warrants. After a few moments the agent said, "No, there are no warrants out for anyone with your name. Thank you for calling sir."
I'm glad you enjoy them and appreciate the recommendation but they are not touching my money.

Do credit unions have online billpay ? The last time I was in a credit union was when I was in college.

My local credit union has online bill pay, an Android/iPhone app with a great interface, lets you take a picture of a check and you can deposit it via your phone. They have come a long way. Been a member since '96 with mine and they have always taken care of me.

Also: good job chase for hiring someone before the background check comes in.

Damn dudes. Brutal temps already! It's still gross here - warm and muggy. A 'cold front' is supposed to blow in tonight, though, possibly bringing temps down to the mid 50s. Can't wait.

I'm thinking of running 32mm Paselas as my default tire for everything except CX racing. If I can ride local single track on near-bald 33mm cross tires and not die, I'm thinking 32mm Paselas would do just fine for both road and dry off-road?
