"Shod with..."

[HLaB]

Why the need for the word "shod"? Why not e.g. "Mavic Open Pro rims with Schwalbe Ultremo X"?

It appears to me as if someone in a magazine decided it required a nobber word and they went for "shod"

Or its an old word that's been around for years and they just typed as they speak, I doubt much thought went into it

(someone had to do it..)

Wheely?

(I'm here all week, folks.)

Many years ago, we'd sit in the waiting room of my courier firm, dripping tickly roadspray onto moth-eaten sofas and getting as close to the Calor Gas heater as we could... all waiting for the controller to say "Next bike".

One of the ways we passed the time was to converse using only the standard expressions of the motorcycling press. We were not creatures of great intellect and it passed the time.

Among the favourites were:

Stump-pulling torque. Applied to any v-twin over 900cc.
Pig on roller skates. Applied to any heavy tourer with softish suspension.
Comfortable at three-digit speeds. Applied to anything with a fairing.
Tarmac-creasing brakes. Applied to anything with more than a single front disc.
Peg-grinding heroics. What motorcycle journalists got up to.

Most of the bikes tested were faster, better or cheaper than the Metzeler-shod (or Pirelli-shod) competition. I think this has just become standard Journalese.

I think I need to be twenty again and ride a motorcycle.

Interesting looking wheel comes to mind...
'fitted with' is nice for me. Tyres are a relationship between rim, bead and man - as dellzeqq of this land will testify!
