Mantel.

”Der Mantel ist der äußere, robuste Teil des Fahrradreifens”
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrradbereifung

I would translate that as:
”The mantle is the outer, robust part of the bicycle tire“

But honestly, I don’t get a lot of hits when I google for that even in German. Seems like a case where it’s a very technical term that only a few people insist is correct. And everyone else just calls that the tire (Reifen). Just happens that the page I used to learn about the sizes of things I can buy for my wheels used “mantle”.

Cheers!

On the side note, I’m not a native English speaker. I used the word mantle because that’s a literal translation of the correct German term, according to my 20 minutes of research I did when ordering new tubes and tires. And when I wrote my question here in English, I googled to see if ”tire mantle” is a thing, got some results and thought, alright, I’ll just use that then.
Well, at least the picture helped you folks understand what I was talking about, I didn’t manage to confuse you too bad :)

 

I ordered two new tires, or mantles I believe is what they’re called. One looked fine and I mounted it on my bike. The other one looks quite warped. It’s not soft but rather pretty sturdy, so I worry it wont sit correctly if I try to install it.

I’m a newb to this, first time I even changed a tube by myself. So let me know if I need to add more information.

Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone! I’ll give it a try tomorrow.

United States of Oligarchs

That’s a bit boring though. Maybe they could put out a call for sponsors every week, the winner gets to name it. We’d get names like:

  • United States of Amazon
  • X
  • Murica
  • iMerica (designed by Apple in California, assembled in China)

Which should drive home the point.
Would also help government funding.

So, I’ve been trying to set this up with a plan to self host without public access. Just to share family pictures. But I’m cutting a lot of corners to make it work for myself and my family only, since that’s my goal.

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful!

Source?

Not saying you’re wrong, but I’m trying to be more critical online.

My boss, probably.

Hier in Schweden gibt’s den Quatsch mit einem Karenztag. Ist vollkommen bescheuert. Meistens mach ich dann mindestens zwei Tage krank, damit es sich auch lohnt. Die, die sich das nicht leisten können bringen es halt mit zur Arbeit und stecken alle an.

On boardgamegeek the community says that best is 1 player. What do you think about that? (You played with 4, right?)
