I've ridden Big Apples through a patch and flicked off scores without
any penetration -- tho' this was on soft dirt, not hard pavement.
They'll get through BAs on hard surfaces.

those of us who can't go can fantasize about it, at least.

I'm also curious. I used to live in NY and couldn't quite figure out
where to go. I don't have a car, so maybe that was part of the
problem. Harriman state park is semi-accessible by train, but I
couldn't really see any trails suitable for bikes.

If Big Apples would squeeze in the HilsenI'd be running them!
You really did hit the thorn with tire regarding ride vs. hassle. I tried
out several of the Specialized Armadillo, and Bontrager Hardcase tires and
came to the same conclusion. Yea they hold air, but wow do they ride poorly.
A day or two ago I got a PM from a woman ... and I can't find it. Want
to reply. If you are she---well...you were pre-D with 110, now down
around 85, lost ten, energy issue. If it's you, that'll be enough to

No; I bought a 6' length at True Value. I could have used 1 cm wide
stock instead; I bought the 2 cm stuff for another project.
IIRC, the 2 cm stock was about $8 to $10 for 6'.
Tell ya what: send me your address and I'll send you 6.
