I wonder what our Aussie and Kiwi brothers are gonna do as their air circulates in opposite directions? Is there a special HD pn for valve stems or do they have to go aftermarket? If there are any English speaking Aussie or Kiwi borthers on the forum maybe they can shed some light on the subject! If not maybe someone from the UK and translate for us! ;-)

Wow, scared me for a moment. I misread that as saying that there is an optional water cooler that I don't have, sounds like a great idea though.

As for the air trap will the US one work with the Canadian metric air? I am starting to think this job is above my skill level. I wonder if the ol lady would mind if some other ol lady did all this for me!?

Luckily, as of Wednesday the 22nd of November, the Canadian Exchange Rate was 1.0038 vs US. The air is almost the same! I would stock up on it now.

As far as below the equator riders, the Coriolis Effect is offset by the valve stems being on the left side of the wheels. Unfortunately it took many deaths before this was completely understood.
