It's All In the Numbers

If you know me well enough, you know I do not have a head for numbers.  Back in school it was the great thorn in my side (some teacher my senior year thought I might have a case of dyscalculia) in real life its not that big of a deal unless I need to split the dinner check or keep a bunch of numbers straight... like bicycle tire sizes.

A couple weeks ago we went into the shop and decided get some spare tubes to pack for Luxembourg.  However, due to my inability to retain numbers and my failure at making a list (which I can't make an excuse for) I was unable to get them. 

Thankfully, Century Cycles just published a new article on their website all about tire sizes and how to keep them straight.  Its a great reference on the general rules of what tires go on what bike.  So, check it out.  It's actually quite interesting.

As for me, I may need to look into tattooing my sizes on the back of my hand.
