AirfreeTires.com Update

I owe the group an update since my postings a few weeks ago. I'm happy to report the problem was fixed.

On the 3rd, I ordered a pair of Daytona HP tires from these guys and never got them. I posted here about it some time later - long story shortened, never got email responses, never got the tires. Around the 24th, I called the credit card company to get them involved.

A week later, a box showed up with the tires, postmarked not from Airfree in Florida, but from a company in Colorado.

So I have the tires and was able to install them on the bike. We're still working on my wife's bike. I'll probably just put Stan's sealant in that one; it's got 650 tires and nobody makes a 650c airfree/solid road tire. The website is still up, and has a March special. For all I know, my order hit some sort of bit bucket and was lost, although that doesn't explain no email responses.

The tires are fine, based on a test ride on dry, decent roads. The legs, however, are not fine too much time off the bike.

Good. Perhaps later after you've ridden on them a while you could report your observations. Thanks.
