I've been using Open Pro rims for some time. A couple years ago I needed one and all the shops locally said they were gone and there was no way to get one. Found one buried in a parts room at a store in Pasadena. Last summer I needed another one and I considered switching to something else, maybe DT Swiss, but I saw an ad for a store in Carson City that had them for sale, so I stayed with the Open Pros.

...big article in the NY Times on this today. It was all news to me, as a football non fan.

I saw on FB that the dorm where I spent my Junior year, in a closet with a window which they called a room, was demolished last year. The post mentions a time capsule from 1929, found during demolition, and I immediately thought,
Hello my baby!
Hello my honey!
Hello my ragtime gal!

This site insists it's silent. But there are others who say you pronounce the K.

I say the K. I've never looked to see if the word means anything but sometimes wonder. I also wonder why they didn't center the badge on the valve stem on my Ksyriums...

...admittedly, at this point in life, my "orchard" has shrunk to three trees. But they still need management, not unlike the NE Patriots.
I'm taking out one tree this year, so that will leave two. Is that an orchard ? Hard to say. It does turn out a lot of apples, though.

Among other things, the plans for the building, local and campus newspapers, the course catalog from that year (1928). No singing frogs, though.

I went ick-see-ahn. However, that Y could be pronounced like a U, as I just realized. Transliteration is awesome.

So do TPU tubes have less or more rolling resistance than going Tubeless? Asking for a friend.
Further more, how does a tube affect rolling resistance. I am having a hard time believing this.

*He is the guy who showed Mr. Rogers how applesauce is made. No, seriously! It was on Mister Rogers Neighborhood, back in the 1980s.

Rhymes with "Friction", so maybe not a good name for a wheelset.
