Unprepared people

Blowouts on the front are bad news if they're _wide_ tires, and you must stop
instantly if not sooner. With narrow tires, you can perhaps ride the flat
successfully to a later stop.

With wide tires, steering reverses in a flat, and balance becomes impossible.
You steer the rim inside the casing, and the casing goes the other way, along
with the contact point you wanted to steer.

Wide = 26x2 and probably narrower than that too. Narrow = 27x1 1/4, to list one
I never had any particular problem with.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
