Same here, got a bad night sleep the second night because I naturally roll to my right side and it would wake me up.

I don’t know how I only just now discovered Ritchey Zeta wheels, but they are being added to the LIST.

What device is this readout from? Provides reasonable information compared to some others.

It's more supple and seems to have more grip. I will say that with the GP5K I had plenty of similar rock hits that did not result in a puncture like yesterday. However yesterday could also have been a complete fluke.
Yah, it'll be fine with sealant, honestly I probably couldn't find where the puncture happened now if I tried.

Interesting about the puncture - in the 5k or so that I had on them last year, I didn't have anything like that happen, so I don't get the impression that they're particularly fragile, and I didn't exactly shy away from stretches of gravel or anything, either. All of the punctures were small sharp things - glass, wires, those little sharp rocks like the cherry stone grit that you put on sidewalks, etc. Oh well, hopefully you've got lots of trouble-free miles on them ahead of you.

Speaking of tires, the Vittoria Corsa G+ tires have arrived. Now I'm in a quandary - are they TOO nice for the Cannondale? Also, is there really anything wrong with its current dark palette?
These Vittorias are supposedly really nice tires, according to Bicyclerollingresistance.com. 5 out of 5. The Cannondale was the cheapest bike in the stable by $1000. I'm thinking maybe the Battaglin, which was the most expensive, deserves these. Plus, it's Italian. Perhaps it would look better with gumwalls....
Then I could move the Grand Prix's over to the Cannondale. BRR rates those as 4 out of 5, which is better than the 3 out of 5 the Grand Sport Race's it's currently wearing would rate.
Decisions, decisions, decisions, and all so lacking in importance for anyone but me!

Ah. Does it expose the pawls or anything? The freehub body on the Zipps can pull straight off, but that exposes the pawls and whatnot, which I'm not so fond of.

This is definitely an allergic reaction, it's a raised oval shaped rash that's probably 5 inches long or so. But, she has skin reactions to everything. This started about 1 week after getting the shot.
Same here, got a bad night sleep the second night because I naturally roll to my right side and it would wake me up.

I tend to roll to the left toward my wife, and when I do she will punch me in the arm and tell me to get away. My arm soreness lasted for a while.

Are the rims on the Cannondale anodized and will the brake track wear down to silver? If so, the addition of gumwalls might make that a little busy.

it does yes, which makes for easy cleaning and applying grease. Watched a 3 min video on youtube. Practically an expert now.

You could order another set for the Battaglin.

Yeah, they're anodized. But also used enough to have a bit of spalling on the bearing track for the front hub. Yet they have minimal wear on the brake track, as you see. They came from Ohio, which is a lot flatter than here. Maybe the previous owner never went downhill in the 25-30 years these wheels have been alive?

The problem that I have with it is that, on my wheels, it also makes it really easy to lose the pawl or two and for gunk to get in/out. Are the pawls retained somehow or are there travel covers for the exposed bits?
