Thanks. My French is about limited to “merci beaucoup”. That would make sense. Appreciate the help.

In reply to Craig Hall. Hmmm...if I remember my college French correctly, I believe Col means mountain. Cote refers to a slope or climb, and a Collar is like a mountain pass. Assuming my memory is correct.

THE BROADCASTERS, ON PEACOCK TV KEEP REFERRING TO MOUNTAIN PASSES AS “COL” de whatever, and so on. I looked up what COL means in french, but all I got was “collar”. Is a “col” a peak or a hilltop? What does “Col” mean in French?

Comment on What Size Are My Road Bike Tires? – Decoding Sidewall Numbers by Ercan Mantas

Very good briefing. Thank you very much. I was surfing around and got so much info in a shellnut, Longshell. Yet realised the most practical of such info found in your article. 700c x 23mm is the answer. And for comfort I can go up as much as (700×25 or 700×28) the features of my bike allows. (B’Twin Triban 500 which allows as fas as I know up to 30mm)

Hi. Are the aerodynamic benefits of a deeper bike wheel rim worth the money? Are the less expensive Superteam S50 rims comparable to the Zipp 404s?
Thanks
