After that, with all the goodwill in the world, I just give up.


LOL! The road out front of our place is like a mine field of potholes,
in some sections. I use my eyes to look for and avoid them. I actually
look up the road and scan the mine field for a path of least potholes,
and as such I can easily run only about 80 psi in my 25mm (measures
27mm) rear tyre, and not suffer pinch flats - that I could easily fix in
the field if I needed to.
