lol, yea its the new 6X, a 6" dually from 24 cycles :)

Duro is durometer, and it's something like the resistance to force applied to the compound. I can't remember exactly, but I think they measure how much force is required to insert a needle a certain distance into the compound.

Hey, since we had that thread with the mensa questions, maybe we could get pip to put together a mensa test for bikers. You know, have questions like "if a 2001 SC Bullit has a 2001 Jr T. fork on it, and the fork is changed with a 2003 Jr T. fork, how much would the head angle change?"

It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

am i right?

A quicker way…

6x3=18
Tack on the 0
180=180
+
6*4=24
180+24=204 :)

that, my friends, is how "smart" people do it. i am amazed at how many people freak with math questions, when most can be broken into smaller easier parts

turn off sigs…it will change your life
