I've worked in bike shops, so I've tried Campy, but never owned it. Can't say I ever had the desire to own it though. I do however own a set of Fulcrum road wheels. Which you can hear from 10km away.... its good incentive to keep pedaling.

Shimano 21 speed?? That's only 3x7. They're into 11 in the back now, but because of the larger range available in the rear cassette, they're going to doubles or only singles in the front.

Do you have to return it with tread on the tires? And is it staggered wheel fitment, or can you put the one set on the tire lathe, and then swap them around and do the others?

These are perfect for someone that rides dirt bikes or mountain bikes (like me).

I also just learned that Hondas new Earth Dreams engines use VTEC (ie cam lobe switching) to switch between an Otto cycle and an Atkinson cycle.

(S2000 uses an F20C)

After looking a bit more into it, I'll have to agree. I'm more familiar with the K20's, not the K24's. The K20 was primarily used in higher output / sporty cars. It does appear that the K24 makes an appearance in many economy cars.

Economy car 4 cylinder? The R18 is a Honda economy motor. The K24 is a fantastic motor (made the top 10 list the other day) that Honda only really uses in their higher performance applications.

This title is misleading. There was only one store brand item (Kirkland Bacon) that was scored better than a name brand. For the rest, the name brand was always best. Granted, once you factor price into it, you can get better VALUE for the store brands, but you're not going to get better FOOD.

WOT = wide open throttle

Makes sense. I'm just tall, with a fairly skinny frame and a good ol' beer belly.

Have you tried driving one? I'm 6'5, and I'm very comfortable in one.

At least they sort / group them decently on their website. I've spent too long trying to figure out the differences between some models from other mabufacturers, and it's always frustrating.

That's the DVP northbound just before the 401. Its a bus lane - not an HOV lane. An HOV / carpool lane has a yellow line separating it from a hard shoulder, and have wide spaced double white seperating them from normal lanes.

You also might have to play with brake pressure. Once you get the rear tires spinning, you can back off on brake pressure a bit.

I was discussing this with a friend of mine, and he mentioned that in the 24hrs of LeMans this year, they introduced "safety zones". If there was a yellow in that zone, the cars were automatically slowed to pit lane speed, and can return to racing after that.

I don't disagree, but again, depends on the engine. I have since had a Matrix, a Rabbit and a Dakota. None of them react to premium fuel like my Civic did. And to be honest, it might be the different additives, rather than the higher octane that was making the difference. Also, in Canada, most gas stations can and…

Depends on car & engine. I had a Civic Si that got significantly better gas mileage on premium, even though it called for regular. It wasn't enough to offset the added cost, but came very close, and for the difference, I was willing to (hopefully) use less of our worlds oil, and also run a cleaner fuel through mt…

Pistons don't really slam. They accelerate from 0m/s to full speed in the middle of their stroke, then decelerate down to 0m/s again. It's really quite a fluid motion. And as long as you have a counterweight on the crankshaft (or counterbalance shaft) those accelerations & decelerations can be damped to the point…
