Joe Willis replied to Sarah Rizvi's discussion 'Need advice on buying a new bike!'"As for as tires go. I have been using 700x23 slicks year round for about 4 years and switched to 700x28 last year and it is a HUGE difference. The tread is a factor as well. 700x32 slicks are still slicks. Try to…"

Kelvin Mulcky replied to Joe Willis's discussion 'Another good reason to have Renters insurance!'"I pay a tiny bit more each year for full replacement value instead of depreciated value. That made a HUGE difference when my mid-90s Gunnar and laptop were stolen."
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Joe Willis's discussion 'Another good reason to have Renters insurance!'"Always read the fine print as to what's covered. Last time I was shopping some policies explicitly excluded instruments, while some included them up to a point with out a rider.
