I took on board some sage RRB wisdom recently when I read in a thread on here somewhere that the best way to align tyres with graphics on a wheel was to put the inflation recommendations next to the valve. 'Brilliant' I say. 'Of course!'
So when the 'Boss's' summer boots arrived by courier today I studiously aligned the '20psi min - 30psi max' lettering with the Schrader - front and back.
But then Murphy and his dang laws poked their nose in. It wasn't until I got down to the park on the shakedown and photo ride that I noted that I had aligned said instructions on opposite sides of the wheels. Doh! No symmetry on the prominent lettering.
Fortunately I didn't have to remove the front wheel to line it all up 'properly' - just had to deflate and rotate to line it all up.
I'm quite pleased with the look of the Duros. And they roll 2-3 gears higher than the knobbies I had on it. Quietly. I do have some 26x4 full slicks as for it well - but as this is a wet weather rider I wanted some tread too.
