Horchata, also known as orxata, is a sweet drink popular in Latin America, Spain, and parts of Africa. The drink is rice-based in Latin America, but in Spain and Africa it is made with tiger nuts (chufa). A traditional recipe always calls for cinnamon and water, but beyond that, there are hundreds of variations.
The bigger wheels, however, have been skulking around the scene for decades. In 1999, Wilderness Trail Bikes got the ball rolling in earnest when they produced the first real 29er mountain bike tire. Soon riders began touting the benefits of the bigger wheel size. And those benefits are undeniable. For starters, the big wheels roll over obstacles with greater ease than standard 26-inch wheels.
Maximum load ratings denoted in pounds or kilograms are also included on the sidewall of the tires. Current load indexes used for cars and light-duty trucks range from 70 to 110, or 761 to 2337 pounds, respectively. The higher the load index number, the greater the tire's load carrying capacity:71 = 761 pounds or 345 kilograms
