Item # VIT0092
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Clincher Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Vittoria Open Corsa EVO SL $0.00
After, literally, millions of miles of race testing, Vittoria has developed its new EVO line of Open Corsa tires. And while the each of these cotton-cased tires plays a specific role, the EVO SL differentiates itself from the SX and SC tires in the Corsa line by featuring a slick tread pattern. So, with an emphasis placed on low rolling-resistance over traction, the SL is particularly adaptable to racing and time trials. Or, more simply put, the SL is solely built for speed.
Now, if you're unfamiliar with how the Italians operate, we'll breakdown the title for you. 'Open' is the Italian terminology for clincher, as in the clincher-version of Vittoria's Corsa SL tubular tire. Meanwhile, 'Corsa' translates directly to 'race,' as in, this is a race-designated tire. Put the two together, and add in the evolution designation of 'EVO,' and you have a next-generation tire that's designed for speed. And while we understand that a name is simply a name, the Open Corsa line's results speak for themselves. Simply put, this line boasts more race wins than any other tire in history.
And now that we have your attention, let's dig into the SL's construction. Vittoria gave this tire a 320TPI casing composition, meaning that the casing of the tire (what the rubber is applied to) is comprised of 320 threads per inch. And if you're wondering why there are 'threads,' this is because the EVO SL is a cotton tire. But, don't think that this decreases durability. In fact, Vittoria used a corespun, or 'polycore,' technique for the casing's construction. Essentially, this means that the casing fibers are made by twisting staple cotton fibers around a central filament core, creating one yarn from multiple fibers. As a result, the material is between 40 and 50% stronger than typically spun materials, while retaining a similar, if not lower, overall weight. Additionally, the 320TPI cotton casing provides the ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio for the SL. By this, we mean that the tire's weight hovers around 210 grams, depending on width, while still retaining a perfect level of flexibility for cornering.
Along these lines, you'll notice that the casing's high TPI equates to finer-grade fibers used in its composition. Accordingly, the fine fibers are more malleable than say, 220TPI casings, and this flexibility creates a more adaptable interface for the tire's rubber contact surface during cornering. So, this design provides a higher level of grip than rubber, which is why cotton casings are used on nearly every high-end tubular in the world. Additionally, the weave's density also absorbs a great deal of impact, while also contributing to a low-level of rolling resistance. This equates directly to both comfort and speed.
For this generation of the EVO, the tire receives Vittoria's newest rubber compound, ISOgrip. After two years in development, Vittoria is confident that it's set the benchmark for racing rubber. According to Vittoria, ISOgrip expresses equal grip in both dry and wet conditions and features its lowest rolling resistance to date. However, like any racing tire, these benefits arrive at the cost of a relatively low wear-resistance, but on race day, you're not going to be worried about wear.
The Vittoria Open Corsa EVO SL is available in the color Black and in a 22mm width. And to reiterate, this is a clincher tire with a 'slick' tread pattern, and it's sold individually.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Straight up dangerous to use!!! Tire blew up on me in a fashion which I have never experienced in 30 years of riding and racing.
Brand new, installed on a wheel, a few miles into my ride this thing blew out a chunk from the center of the thread (not a debris flat or a pinch flat). The tarmac was spotless, without any debris. This was a clear case of tire malfunction. One which could've cost me a trip to the hospital.
I consider myself lucky as I had just come off a 40mph descent and rolled onto the flats. I lost air instantly and almost ate the road in front of me.
I have been using Vittoria and Veloflex tires for years and have never had this sort of critical failure. Sadly, the rep at CC seemed bothered when I inquired about returning the other unopened tires and had to request a shipping label.
I could've been seriously hurt. I understand CC doesn't make the tires, but at the very least show some level of care and interest especially considering the severity of the incident. Hate to say it, but CC is not what it used to be.
Did not last a single minute
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I don't know about the million miles tested.
I went up the street 300 feet and the front tides got sliced through the rolling compound. There were gravels (normal), did not see any glass. A tire should be able to handle real roads, especially a race tire which is mean to ride fast. Now I'm scared of these tires, I'll remove the rear as well, I don't want to take the risk of a sliced tire going downhill at 40mph.
Vittoria Open Corsa EVO SL
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Absolutely my favorite tire to date. Feels as close to a tubular tire as I've ridden. Dampens road vibration, smooth through the corners, and the perceived rolling resistance is excellent.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like butter on a bald monkey! Yeah, I don't know what the hell that means either...
I put these on my carbon wheel because they are a bit wider @ 24mm, and I've gotten quite used to riding my wide rim wheels with 23mm OC CX rubber.
--They're fast. They just roll.
--They're comfy. Wider = a bit less pressure. I'm 180-ish and ride then with 105 in front and 108 in back. Paired with Vitt latex tubes, the ride is sublime.
--Worried about your tires washing out in a turn. You won't be with these.
People ask why I ride top-shelf tires every day. I do it for the same reason a dog licks himself...because I can.
Seriously though, if you spend thousands on wheels, why bother with crap tires?
Sure, they won't wear as well as a set of Gatorskins, but they also don't ride like re-tread tractor trailer tires.
And yes, I date parts, and you should too. It lets one know when the part went into service, and the part's lifespan.
--See second picture : Great tires, as long as you don't run over a crack pipe. Seriously...a crack pipe...

best part of the review
Loved this comment, too!
Great set of tires!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Finally decided it was time to replace my first set of these Vittoria Open Corsa EVO SL's after over 3,000 miles on them. Great set of tires and have never got that many miles out of a set of tires. Smooth ride and great cornering. Fixing to go ahead and order 2 more sets to have on hand.
Fast tires
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are fast tires, even compared to the CX version. Perhaps that's due to them being a little more aero in their 22 mm width versus the CX's 23 mm size. Or maybe it's because they're slicks versus the CX's useless tread pattern.
Don't have many miles on the SL but on a pair of CXs (which Vittoria says are the same except for the tread pattern) I have 1600 miles and the rear looks to have another 300 to 400 miles in it, at the least, and the front should be good for 3000+. Only one flat on the CXs (none on the SLs) and that was a piece of glass that would have cut just about any tire. Booted it with a piece of an old tubular and it's been going strong for a thousand miles since.
Dear Backcountry Staff, Aren't these...
Dear Backcountry Staff,
Aren't these actually clinchers? Thanks for the clarification!
Hi Michael, these are clincher tires. Although our tires that are described as "open tubulars" are sometimes mixed in with traditional tubular tires in search results, we try to include all of the pertinent technical information in the last paragraph of every product description. If you ever have any other questions, feel free to shoot me a note directly at email@example.com. For more immediate assistance with product questions, you can also chat or call in to talk to one of our bike experts.

(LE MARS) -- Le Mars won both games Saturday in their own Lady Bulldog Classic to finish 2-and-2 over the two days of play with three of the four games against rated opponents. Le Mars, after dropping a pair of close decisions to rated foes on Friday, finally scored a win over a state-rated opponent in their final game of the day.

So JJ is working her ass off and Ana is going to football matches...hmmmm I am excited for 2009.ReplyDelete
Tessa + anon 2:47: Right? I find it so strange that they've only been "dating" supposedly since the US Open and she's all super friendly with his fam, taking photos with them, etc. It seems really fast to me. Maybe it's because she's a big tennis star and Nando's, well, not and they're hoping he sticks it out with her?ReplyDelete
And now they're posing at the Real Madrid match? Anon, you're so right. JJ is really working her ass off right now and being very professional while Ana is in lala land with some guy who, honestly to be quite honest, she DOESN'T REALLY EVEN KNOW!
I guess we know which Serb is the serious baller right now. And if Ana starts the year off poorly (and she has tons of points to defend in Australia) I hope she doesn't blame "pressure" - she'll just have to look back at her off-season "vacation".
Fernando is a hell of a talented player, that unfortunatley isn't focused on tennis enough.During his matches he doesn't give 100%, he doesn't leave his heart out there, and when things get tough he is first to back off then to be brave and go for it!So his talent and game are very good, need to work on mind and priorities.Yeah, Ana is so into lala land!!And everything seemed so good and sweet to me untill those familiy pics.I mean just weird.Nor is Fernando supposed to be like that introducing his new girl so fast to his fam, cause he's a womean-eater, so what's up with that seriously!Maybe they insisted to meet Ana, probably so, and maybe his lil sis is a fan.But Anando should just buy themselves a little style and just go out of the spotlight, they're making me wanna throw up on every new possing picture.And Ana better get on tennis court!She's so much more then to get trown out of her pat for some partime hunk!ReplyDelete

They've become the "Speidi" of tennis. Not good.ReplyDelete
anon : hahahah omg exactly!Yuck!ReplyDelete
Anon 3:31: You're right, it's getting totally lame. And what a shame because they're both so hot...unlike Speidi.ReplyDelete
anon: Speidi creeps me out. Like Anando they look like they could be related - super blonde and toothy. Plus their "marriage" was prob a sham to make $$$.ReplyDelete
Could it be there are other motives for Anando, say PR for him? He needs it more than Ana so it wouldn't surprise me. And look, it's so working. Hmph!
- AnonymousDecember 11, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Fernando goes almost everywhere with his family, despite the man-whore reputation that doesn't really go with that. They follow him a lot. So it really is no surprise that he took her to meet his parents.. and it actually happened in november when she first was in Madrid.ReplyDelete
But I agree that its getting a bit tiresome. The picture of them was especially taken for Real Madrid's website, who had them as guests. And paparazzi in Spain are worst than in LA.. that's quite something! They follow people around everywhere..
Ana is going to Belgrade today and to Australia on Monday.. so don't worry.. no more Anando pics at least until Brisbane.
- MichelleDecember 11, 2008 at 1:07 PM
Yeah I thought they were a cute couple but it's getting a bit annoying now. I mean was that family portrait necessary, it's so awkward. I want ana to be focused on tennis, sure having a boyfriend is really fun and nice but it seems like she loves the attention for her love life more than practicing.ReplyDelete
Ana is still very young and inexperienced in love. I only hope she keeps her focus on tennis and not on parading with her boyfriend all the time.
I am just happy to see Amelie's site is so great. I hope she does well in 2009, but she is definitely in need of my (or any) therapist.ReplyDelete
Rich, maybe we can follow her around with a camera and give her pep talks at the same time. Kill two birds, ya know?
- Tennis ObserverDecember 11, 2008 at 3:12 PM
I miss a cute dog from the family pictures! Dogs and children are necessary for good ratings and success!ReplyDelete
Oh my, I really didn't think Anando could get any more annoying to me, but it just did!ReplyDelete
"Parading" is the exact word for what Ana's doing right now. She's SO forgotten she's actually a tennis pro. Sorry, but I've always hated her attitude. She's so immature and she will so come a cropper if she doesn't get herself together soon.
Aside from that, I'm really happy for Sania.
And the Gillette ad really was SOOO lame. Totally agree.
- nadalfanDecember 12, 2008 at 2:13 AM
Anando are beginning to annoy me now, and it looks like I'm not the only one. They do seem to be rushing things a fair bit and as though they're milking this for all it's worth. But then again, I suppose they're hanging out as much as possible before they're on tour again and have zero time again.ReplyDelete
I don't know that it's a PR thing- it certainly feels like it. But Nando has done well for himself wrt Davis Cup. He has the game, just needs to stop mucking about so much and begin to focus as someone already said.
Speidi comparison was spot on, by the way.
And yes; JJ does look like she's taking this seriously- thank all things bright and shiny! I do hope she has a good year and keeps those injuries at bay!
Amelie, Amelie. She is incredibly talented, I wish her brain would somehow stop imploding on court. Maybe Rafalet could have a word?
I am going to sound like a bitter, bitter cow..but it really pisses me off when people are handed honorary degrees. Good on you and everything..that's fantastic for you. But! Sania and I are the same age and here I am busting my brain and wilting over writing scores of research papers and dying over every other word of my master's thesis... and she just gets handed a honorary doctorate! Yeah, I'm bitter.
nadalfan: yeah they both may want to focus on tennis at this point. it sucks the off-season isn't super long but they've had a holiday already. it seems they'll practice wherever, whenever they can but they need to be together regardless.ReplyDelete
i haven't seen any images of sven groenefeld with ana - who is she working with right now? is she just doing it on her own?? are they coaching each other???
we'll see how it all plays out in a few weeks - i can't wait.
- AnonymousDecember 12, 2008 at 7:04 AM
Ana spent 2 weeks in Mallorca without Fernando working non stop with Scott Byrnes on fitness and Melle Van Gemerden. Melle is a former ATP player and Ana's new team member. She usually would get someone from where she was to be her hitting partner, but now he will be traveling all over the world with her. He will also serve as a coach while Sven is not with her. She left Spain yesterday and will be traveling to Australia on Monday to prepare for AO.. this time already with Sven on hand.ReplyDelete
I agree that she might have left her preparation a bit aside with all this Fernando love.. but first loves can mess a with one's head. Let's hope she learns how to deal with it rather fast.
Aw, nadalfan, I am sorry for you. That really sucks to have to work so hard when others are handed things just because they have some celebrity. I don't like it, either. Hopefully she was studying and was just a few credit hours short of a degree.ReplyDelete

We run a number of different servers in my office. We have set them to use our zimbra server as the smtp server for delivery of admin messages. On our zimbra server we have also added an alias domain. The Zimbra server FQDN is email@example.com, the alias domain is mailserv.domain.local (because we found that cron jobs on the mailserv send from email@example.com). The alias domain points mailserv.domain.local to domain.local. We have also setup aliases for email@example.com->admin.domain.local, firstname.lastname@example.com->firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com->firstname.lastname@example.com... etc. In our daily admin email there are typically about 50 messages received by the alias domain. Unfortunately, there are typically only about 6 emails in the firstname.lastname@example.com mailbox. I have to assume this points towards something being setup improperly but I have no idea where to start looking. It would be a great benefit to find the emails that are not being delivered by the server. Unfortunately I don't know if this is possible and if it is where those messages would be stored. I'm sure that I can fix the way servers are sending mail but I'd prefer to see which ones need to be fixed and know for sure what I am fixing before I just go off jacking with settings hoping that tomorrow I receive more of the emails that I'm expecting.
Does anybody have any suggestions on places to start? The logs are long each day and to be honest I have no idea what terms I should grep for.

I have been looking for collaboration server/client solution. Which will allow to comment my articles/pages and provide XXX comments with AJAX ability to preview and add user comment. The only problem, none is supporting complex suite, which will include treeview discussion UI, RSS feeds and newsgroup.
It was surprise that on collaboration view, there is NO threads as tree. Say, Thunderbird IMAP client allow to watch mail in discussion mode. So instead of plain message list I am able to see only root/starter messages. That is a way to go!
Meanwhile, I am still looking for solution. The Syrus IMAP server has an option to publish shared folder as netnews (NNTP) discussion groups. That gives server side. But I have not found threaded UI for IMAP and administration UI. Probably, it will be easier to create own Web2.0 widgets?
- make collabotarion as treeview,
configurable from admin:
- publish IMAP shared folders on NNTP
- save each message in separate file.
It will allow:
- AJAX to use HTTP for direct message access, list messages in folder, etc.
- easy archieving/migration
- version control (SVN)
- name other reasons...
The best,

Our 46th Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week comes from our forthcoming publication "The Northwest."
The town of Vladimir's Throne is the capital of the North Kingdom, although it's only a small village. King Vladimir and his court mage, Mstislav (who is the true ruler) both are vampire draugs. They dwell in Vladimir's Throne. Vladimir resides in his castle and Mstislav in his neighboring Black Tower.
This is their base of operations. They don't want to be disturbed. For that reason, most of the village also is closed. Only those who live in Vladimir's Throne - inside or outside of the wall - and the country's three vampire draug dukes have passes that allow them to enter inside the village wall. All others must remain in the small settlement outside the wall. Those who work or live outside the wall still are legal residents of Vladimir's Throne and have passes to enter the gate.
Key to Vladimir's Throne
The castle and black tower are on a small hill (50 feet/15 m above the surrounding terrain) just north of where the old Æsir city of Nýrækt stood. The royal seat of King Vé later became the main lair of the High Draug Martröð, who impersonated the dead Vé until Martröð's own destruction. An after effect of Martröð's destruction was that all things within a large area around Nýrækt were destroyed, and it turned into a dark necromantic zone like those surrounding the current lairs of the eight dark draugs in the Æsir desolation. The lands near Vladimir's Throne are recovering slowly. At first, trees began to sprout and then grow on the fortress hill. Now coarse grasses are coming up. However, the day when crops, grain or fruit can be raised again near the royal village probably remains distant.
1. King Vladimir's High Fortress. The king, his staff and the government administration occupy all of the complex except the tower (Location No. 2). Vladimir and his highest servants all dwell in the castle complex. The other servants live in the housing units inside the wall (Locations numbered 5). Vladimir's treasure, some 500.000 GP worth of gold and silver, his vault of iron items and the crypts of the king and Věnceslav all are in the subterranean dungeon level. Only Vladimir and his highest servants are allowed to enter the dungeon. Its entrance is well guarded by human soldiers and magi.
2. Mstislav's Black Tower. Mstislav and his highest servants dwell in the tower. No one else is allowed to enter of their own choosing except through the entry level on the ground floor, which has openings to the castle and the courtyard. The entrances are well guarded by human soldiers and magi. Mstislav has treasure, some 2,000,000 GP worth of gold and silver, and his crypt and those of his vampire draug servants are in the subterranean dungeon. No one is allowed in the dungeon except the three vampire draugs and Anděla, his foremost human servant.
3. Royal Military Garrison . The garrison is the base of 220 elite human soldiers and war magi who are in service to and under the direct command of the king. There are 150 human warriors in regular service, another 50 human warriors who are members of the king's Iron Guard and 20 human magi, sorcerers and wizards, the latter all of low to middle level. The commander, Doubravka, a female human warrior, lives in the compound, as do its other members without family in Vladimir's Throne. Those with families live in the housing units inside the wall (Locations numbered 5).
4. Royal Emporium . This large store is one of the biggest in the kingdom, and it certainly has the finest selection of all. Those who dwell in Vladimir's Throne are the king's most valued and trusted servants, and they are rewarded well. Most things that people might want to buy are available here or can be ordered. Royal caravans bring the goods to the village. The king's merchants have the first chance to buy any foreign wares that arrive in Kingsgate.
5. Royal Housing. Each of these fortress-like stone buildings is five stories high with eight luxurious (by North Kingdom standards) apartments per story. Almost all residents of Vladimir's Throne live in this complex.
6. Royal City Gatehouse. As already mentioned, only true residents of Vladimir's Throne and the three vampire draug dukes have permanent passes allowing them entry at the gate. The dukes also may take a small number of servants with them, but their servants have no gate passes of their own. Temporary passes for other visitors are granted only very rarely, at the wish of Mstislav or the king.
7. Royal Warehouse. When royal caravans arrive, they bring their wares here. Caravans are not allowed to pass the outer gate. Most goods in the warehouse are intended for the emporium (Location No. 4).
8. King's Inn and 9. The Inn's Stable. The inn has a large public house that is frequented not only by traveling visitors but also by those who live in and outside of the wall. On the southeast side of the inn is its brewhouse, where its lager beer is brewed. The inn's guest rooms and stable usually are used only by trade caravans that are bringing goods to the castle or that are spending a night while traveling on to market towns. The inn is property of the crown. It is run for the king by the jovial innkeeper Alexej, a male human merchant. His brewmaster is the brewmistress Oldika. Alexej also employs two cooks, both human male master artisans, and two waiters, six waitresses, four room maids and two stable boys, all human male and female commoners. The inn's beer costs 5 copper pieces per pint/0.5 l tankard. Means run 3 to 6 silver pieces. Rooms cost 7 silver pieces per night for the 10 singles and 5 silver pieces per person for the two doubles.
10. Royal Smithy. The master smith Zdeňka, a human female artisan, runs the smithy, which is property of the crown. She employs four journeyman smiths, all human male and female artisans, and two apprentices, both human male commoners. The smithy manufactures nothing except occasional small replacement parts. It is responsible not only for repairing metal items of the local folk and passing caravans but also for maintaining the weapons, armor and metal equipment of the military garrison.
You can get the dungeon plan of the prison tower in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (30 MB).
2. As a JPG flat map of 1360 x 1000 Pixels each (1.2 MB), above.

1953-1956 Ford Frame Buildup - Getting FramedWritten by on March 23, 2011 TCI's '53-56 Ford Frame Buildup
Total Cost Involved has been a player in the aftermarket street rod performance parts market since 1974. It was then that TCI recognized the need for extra strength in otherwise weak Model A frames. The reproduction frames were made with restoration in mind. Soon, however, the hot rod market caught wind of what they were doing, and the demand grew for newer suspension technologies to implement into the old chassis.
Now 37 years later TCI produces frames for almost every pre-'70 Chevy and Ford car or truck. Along with the added frames, they also make a wide variety of components that attach to said frames like the popular Mustang II, IFS, four-link, adjustable coilovers, and tubular control arms, to name a few.
There are several reasons to consider a custom chassis for your truck, and, if you're anything like me, it can be very time consuming and pricey fixing the holes and box in your stock frame. Let's say you're planning on fixing your stock frame yourself at home, where are you going to put the cab and bed while you grind away? Fixing a frame is not something you can do in a hurry. I should know; I'm currently working on my '59 Apache frame and wish I started with a completed chassis like TCIs.
Next, if you're not careful when welding on your stock frame it could twist and bend, depending on what you're doing, and leave you with tire and alignment issues. Not to scare you from fixing it yourself-we all can't afford a nice frame-but unlike the heavy-duty fixture at TCI's frame shop, your garage floor and a set of jacks will have to suffice. Lastly, the overall benefit of having a solid boxed frame compared to a stock or a stock/modified frame is a night-and-day difference in the ride and handling categories. Twisting of the frame from hard cornering or that 383 stroker that you're planning on putting in may be a little more than Henry Ford originally designed. Remember you're modifying something that was designed for a straight-six and bias-ply tires so frame flex was not an issue.

After the framerail is finished welded it is moved to the paint booth where Diego grinds the welds flush.The framerails are now placed onto a frame fixture where they will be tack welded to the sides of the fixture.Next, Chuy and Chris lay out the crossmembers in the center of the frame and TIG weld it into place.Braces from the top and bottom are now welded in to spread the load. This gives the frame structure from side to side and helps with frame twist.Both top and bottom braces have now been welded on the front side. It is time to continue fitting the rear braces of the frame.
Chuy positions the front crossmember and double-checks his measurements from side to side and the angle of crossmember for accuracy.Overhead wenches make it easy to flip the frames over to access the area that need to be finish welded.A Ford 351C with tranny was placed into the framerails and tack welded to a temporary piece of steel. Jose, left, and Jesus, right, made sure the motor was in straight, from left to right, and the tranny is at the right angle and height.Here, Fred bends new stainless brake lines while Diego fits the brake booster to the foot pedal assembly. TCI can also offer an adjustable proportioning valve with four-wheel disc brakes.This particular frame had the extra option of an adjustable sway bar. The sway bar slides through the DOM tubing and connects via adjustable arms.Here, Chris lines up the upper and lower arms so he can cycle them. This is repeated on the other side with measurements and moving the upper control arm from front to back. Taking the time to measure twice ensures the vehicle drives true down the road.

Item # HUT0113
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain 29" Tubeless Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Hutchinson COBRA XC Tire - 29er $0.00
You might be thinking that a tire that rolls fast on hardpack won't cope well with aggressive cornering. If that sounds like you, the Hutchinson Cobra XC 29er Tire is reason to reevaluate your outlook. Its tightly spaced center knobs reduce rolling-resistance in order to a bare minimum, while the tall side knobs keep you on your line when you're changing direction -- even when you're pushing hard.
The Cobra's tread pattern is all about achieving high speeds through low rolling-resistance. And, although they slightly struggle with mud and wet conditions, these tires fly on dry trails with plenty of hardpack. Looking at the centerline of the tire, the tightly spaced knobs make this abundantly clear. As you get away from the centerline, the tread opens up, and the angled intermediate knobs provide a smooth transition to the side knobs. Speaking of which, these aggressive side knobs set the Cobra apart from other tires within its class. And while many other tightly spaced tread designs feature dainty side knobs, the cornering knobs on the Cobra are tall and well supported. This means that when you get these tires on edge, they'll bite hard to keep you on your line.
Hutchinson provides the Cobra in a number of variations. So, to clear up any confusion, this is the tubless-ready 'hardskin' version. 'Hardskin' refers to the tire's reinforced sidewall, which provides an added degree of puncture-resistance over some lighter weight casings. The tubeless designation is relatively self-explanatory -- these tires have an enlarged bead hook to make setting them up without tubes a simple affair. Just keep in mind that with all tubeless tires, you'll need to run an appropriate amount of tire sealant in order to reap the full benefit of a tube-free setup.
The Hutchinson Cobra XC 29er Tire is available in the color Black and in a 29 x 2.2in size. Please note that this tire is sold individually, and that neither sealant or rim tape are included.

Robocop (2014)
Robocop SynopsisIn RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer.

Wait, Another RoboCop Movie May Actually Happen?
In recent weeks, we've been reading reports about how success at the Chinese box office could wind up not only saving Terminator Genisys from being considered a failure, but also convince the studio to make a sequel. If new reports are to be believed, it seems that Sony's RoboCop series might be in the exact same boat.

This Week In Home Entertainment: Robocop, Lone Survivor And More
RoboCop has a lot going for it. The PG-13 remake of a 1987 hard R classic is a visually appealing narrative with plenty of glossy action sequences. It ranks up there with Gravity and Avatar as far as its VFX goes. Add in a few nice acting performances and a fine enough script and RoboCop becomes a decently entertaining movie. The only angle that it is really missing is fun.

Did You Know Robocop Has An Almost Perfectly Symmetrical Plot?
A film blogger recently brought to everyones attention that the original Robocop film is a near perfect example of a symmetrical story. Known as a chiasmus, the story can use the same events twice, while employing diametric opposition to keep the story moving. In other words, Robocop is the ultimate story of payback in equal measure, thanks to everyones favorite bad mothercrusher.

New Robocop Trailer Demands That You Stop Being So Robophobic
You're gonna cringe within the first few seconds of this new Robocop trailer, which proves at the very least that there are some lines that even Samuel L. Jackson can't sell. In the near future, America is producing peacekeeping robots that are protecting people all over the world except in their home country. And in a nation dependent on Siri and Roombas, the only way to achieve robot acceptance is, of course, to kill a cop and put him inside a robo-suit and make him into a machine

RoboCop Director Jose Padilha Will Keep The Original's Irony But Not The R-Rating
Jose Padilha is not remaking your fathers RoboCop. That would be silly, the director told us during a recent conversation. I love the first movie. Its amazing. Its iconic.

(Ironically, the actual hometown in the bloody, blue-collar original film Detroit recently filed for bankruptcy and likely could use a legitimate hero, but thats another story.)

Even without Laurie, the RoboCop remake has an impressive cast, including The Killing star Joel Kinnaman in the lead role, Gary Oldman, Samuel L.

From what we are hearing about the script, its going to need a lot of help from its cast to keep things grounded.

Buckwheat, your politically associated with people like this. Stop.
Pot will be decriminalized once society falls into anarchy.
It will definitely be legalised in the next generation, the question is whether it will in this one. We'll be smoking cannabis legally at at least the age of 40
I never said I supported Romney, I'm all about Gary Johnson. And Kirby that sounds like a religious righty retard, not a libertarian.
gary johnson is a hack. if you're a one issue voter and that issue is marijuana, ok. but if you care about ANYTHING else you're a fool to support johnson. even from a libertarian viewpoint, he is a hack with no intellectual consistency and real understanding of libertarianism.
He's a pretty cool guy. Plus the fair tax is an awesome idea. Eliminating the federal DOE is pretty cool too.
"fair tax" is a STUPID idea and i'm pretty sure we had this discussion and you came to agree
why is eliminating the doe a good idea buckwheat??
is fair tax flat tax
I will never forgive that nigga candidate for introducing that stupid idea to the public.
yes its a flat tax, literally the worst idea anyone can imagine
Let me lower the tax rates on the rich even more and increase them to unpayable levels for the poor. Its the same tax rate all around! Fair for everyone!
The amount of regular people that think that it is ok is stupifing, all one needs to do is look at what it means for 5 seconds to realize its moronic.
but but kirby. its called "ffaaaaiiiirrrr tax"! it's obviously good, because it's more fair!
two options with "fair" tax:
raise taxes on the poor and working class to unpayable levels so they're basically starving -- while raising taxes on the middle class to the point their disposable income is decimated and the economy tanks
lower taxes on the rich to the same level the poor and middle class are able to sustainably pay, this lowering government funding tremendously and making the US' public infrastructure even MORE third-world than it already is.
stupid idea on every level and anyone who approves of it should never be allowed to vote or have an opinion on anything
Fair tax would work if everyone had the same income. :P
That's not what the Fair Tax is at all. It's actually a progressive VAT tax. At the start of every month, every person in America gets a 200 dollar prebate, which is the poverty line. That way people below the poverty line can spend that money on food and other necessities so in a sense they aren't paying any taxes they can't afford. Then, every good sold except for like food has a 27% federal sales tax, so that way everyone pays and there's no way to get out of it.
couldn't that system be easily cheated by stockpiling all your money and then buying goods outside the US? Then the only people who could afford to go outside the US to go shopping (the rich) wouldn't pay any taxes while everyone else would.
naw man its all fair
A sales tax hurts lower income individuals most, as the more money you make the lower the percentage of your wealth is spent on goods.
the proposed "fair tax" would actually be a benefit for people making 15k a year or less. for almost everyone else they would pay more in tax, except for people making over 200k who would pay considerably less. i guess thats what makes it "fair."
The only reason It helps people with that low income is because they add an extra non-taxable income. Otherwise it would be absolutely horrible for people under the poverty line.

We need to arrange several pop rock songs. The band has vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. In addition, we add a trumpet. Do you have any idea, method or example of how to play the songs with the trumpet?
I suppose with a cornet you'll have the ability to add something extra in for texture, so something like finding the main melody line in the song, whether it be with guitar or vocals have the trumpet follow this line to emphasise the line and it could offer a massive difference to the sound and feel of the song depending, you should try looking at reel big fish, they get away with a trumpet
I think the answers so far spend too few consideration on the fact that we're talking here about a single trumpet added to a standard rock ensemble. Sure, there is lots of pop/rock music with brass and wind, but that is actually quite different from only having a single trumpet.
Typically, a single wind or brass instrument would only be truly capable of some solos. In some cases you might be able to mimick a full horn section and re-inforce part of a guitar riff. However, with a single trumpet, it is going to sound very thin, and you'll risk sounding like the rest of the horn backing section is on sick leave.
If the band is serious about adding wind/brass, you should consider getting either or both a (tenor) sax and trombone. This will allow you to make more background arrangements, and the arrangements can continue even when one brass has a solo. If that is not an option, I fear the trumpet will be confined to playing an intro or a solo here and there, maybe a couple of accents on a hook.
There are some good examples. Have a look at Less Than Jake's song, Gainesville Rock City:
You need to arrange the songs so it works, but rock music can definitely cope with non-standard instruments.
There are several examples of bands with horns (including trumpets). Going back a few decades two of the most prominent would be "Blood Sweat and Tears" and "Chicago." There's also the 70's band "Tower of Power." How about the Beatles ("All you Need Is Love")? The one-hit-wonder band "Alive and Kicking" with "Tighter, Tighter."
Good luck!
