Actually the first two amongst many.
1. How do you pronounce Ksyrium?
2. What does the "c" stand for in 700 x 28c?
Cheers!

Kuh -seer- ree- um, accent on the second syllable.
The "C" is an old designation for the width of the tire and is also part of the French system of tire designations.
A 700c x 23 tire is a 29 inch diameter, or 622mm diameter tire that is 23 mm in width.
