technical question for bikers

I actually like them, though on my new bike (-cycle) I have Dunlop valves. On my old one I've never had any breakdown, and my impression is that they're a bit tighter because you have to screw them twice (valve + cap). Maybe that's the reason why they're so widespread since I don't think that you can reach pressures over 6 bar with a regular bycicle pump.

Can't really give any advice. Usually the more fancy the bicycle is the more fragile it is, or requires specialist knowledge. My advice is: take it to a good tour bike repairer and ask advice.

On a sidenote, I hate people who break bottles on the streets during weekends etc. Had to change a tire on my bicycle because of some idiot.

I hate people who break beer bottles on my head more, but those who use streets are bastards as well.
