Indeed. Last year or the year before, on one long (for me) ride I like
to do occasionally, I was on a fairly busy highway. A truck came up
behind me not long before my left turn onto a quieter road. I thought "I
can take the lane, but he'll have to slow down before that hill. I'll
give him a break and move to the shoulder."

I was rewarded with a flat tire. As they say, no good deed goes
unpunished.


That is where thick tubes plus liner plus fairly puncture resistant
tires excel. They also let you continue the journey when that dreaded
sign "Pavement ends 200ft" comes up and the road ahead looks like nobody
has maintained it in decades. I used one of those twice yesterday, a
chunk of the old Lincoln Highway, abandoned decades ago. The lanes are
still Model-T width and lots of debris strewn about, smashed booze
bottles and such.

Yo, Frank, any words of wisdom from the ME in you on the 160 - 203mm
rotor increase in the other thread? I've posted photos of the current
caliper mounts.
