They are only ~$30 each tire though. Some of the nicer CX clinchers hover around ~$85.

Online you're probably saving maybe 10%. In shop, these Challenge Grifos are $85 a piece.

Why do you keep your leader in a dirty fish tank?
More importantly, why is your fish tank living room themed?

Two and a half year old phone with probably the most scratched up lens imaginable. I leave it in the top drawer of my toolbox so it just gets mangled, I'll make sure to hire a professional photographer next time I need a picture.

i have the cyclocross speed on my yeti. fast on the road! (for a cx tire)
i climbed the north cascades highway this weekend with them and they did great on dry pavement and in the snow at 70psi.
they are pretty great for gravel at ~55psi. they are terrible for wet grass.

Well, I dropped off all my parts today at the shop and unfortunately couldn't stick around for the build, due to work. They ended up tweeting out a photo, so it's a crappy phone pic that I later instagrammed, but I'll post it anyways.

Haven't even seen it in person yet. Probably going to wrap only the drops in a leather tape that matches the saddle. Also going to put a Chris King on it shortly, but the VO will do for now.

Just threw them on and I'm kind of broke right now, so the tape will have to wait. The bartape on my RHP is held together by electrical tape, so that's first priority for me.
40/16, or roughly 66 gear inches. Working on leg speed. I deliver sandwiches and our area is stupid small, so I really have no reason to ever be going faster 20mph. I'm actually faster now that I use this thing instead of ~80gi to deliver with.
