I've been doing a lot of research on this topic because I live in Wi (flat as a pancake) and I'll be racing in at a Norba Nationals event in CO this summer (elevation 8500-10,000 feet...yikes) . So if anyone has any experience with this, I'd like to hear your stories. Perhaps I'll post this on another thread.

Are there really people that fill their bike tires up with Hydrogen and Helium? I've never heard of this... What is the weight savings on a 40psi mountain tire Helium vs CO2 (If you are not sure, maybe I'll try to figure it out later....I on lunch, but gotta head back to work now...)

I've never heard of this, so it kinda blows my mind!

Um.....

As noted in my initial post, this was taken from the humorous part of Sheldon Brown's website. (I'm one for injecting a little smart aleckyness in whenever possible). I don't think any wrench would advise the Hindenberg effect on your bike tires...
