I beg to disagree. The Audi "unintended acceleration" issue was proven
-- PROVEN -- to be user error and no fault of the car at all. TCO can
cause problems that have nothing whatever to do with user error.

Until the recent endless discussions here concerning TCO I didn't have
a clue about it.
Now I discover that three custom bikes I've ridden and liked the most

employed more competent designers.

TCO nearly brought me down numerous times in the twelve years I've owned a
Rivendell Longlow. Don't kid yourself, it is not necessary to travel 17 mph
to fall and cause severe head injury or a broken hip. I've had both while
wearing a helmet. The aforementioned injuries were sustained while riding

TCO was an issue, once, for me on one bike
I think that for people who think TCO is an issue -- it is, and I don't try

wrong with your pedal stroke, your shoe hits the fender or tire. It's one of
those things that sounds worse than it is. It cannot happen at faster
David,
I rode 2 point something Nano raptors on my 58 cm Atlantis for some time and
don't remember any TCO. It's been a couple of years though so my memory may
not be perfect but I tend to think I would remember if there had been a
problem.
Bundling up for my Sunday ride now.

On Sun, Jan 31,
Morning query: With BIG 50mm or larger tires on a700c Atlantis, are there
TCO issues?
Enjoy a Sunday ride!
