The radio wiring in an 83 300D is pretty simple: switched power, constant power, antenna, L and R speakers. Since the front/rear balance is controlled with the dial in the center console you don't need a radio with built-in front-rear fade, and the wiring harness is not set up for that. Good

Eh, your car analogy is orange to my apples. A wheel that needs the equivalent of $5k of work is on the verge of catastrophic failure that you can't ride home on. Spokes are loose and ready to break, your rim has a crack in it, the hub has pitted bearings or blown seals, etc. The way

700x25 is the new 23mm tire since research has shown that 25mm tires are just as fast as a 23mm. One of my riding buddies is riding on 28mm tubeless clincher tires and he claims they feel as fast and comfortable as a 25mm tubular. Wheels and tires have come a LONG way in the last 2 years

2013-08-14 Thread Benz Hogs
You are correct that a 28mm rim is huge, good for a 29er. In my case,28mm is the tire outside width, not the rim width. His rim is 23mm to the outside of the braking surface, same that I'll have next month. So the 700x25 is for the tire, not the rim. Luther KB5QHUForest Park, IL '98

700 is a touch bigger in diameter than the old 27. 1-1/4 is about 25% wider than a 25mm tire. The off-road tires I'll be riding for the Cyclocross season this fall are about the same width as the old 1-1/4 except that mine will have MTB stile knobs to help with cornering, sand, and mud. See
