An old fashioned duel is more palatable than a TT

Probably safer and better natured.
More fun to watch, doesn't need special clothing.
And the equipment is a lot cheaper.

Swords have a blade longer than 3" , so it's going to have to be flintlock muzzle loaders.

If you include walking the 10 paces and then loading the thing, it's getting quite Triathlony...

Yes, because tyres never used to come off the rim. Kit never used to fail and riders never used to crash

hookless rims are so efficient until they are not

They would both be dead before they agreed on the tech specs of the duel. How far is a 'pace' they would ask.

You’re quite right, before hookless rims no one ever crashed as a result of a blow out or other tyre/rim issue.
