I have been using Avocet 45s continuously since the mid-1990s. I like the cadence readout as a reminder / verification. I have one head in use, and mounts on each of the bikes. I have a measured calibration course I use to set the circumference for each bike, and the RWGPS readings are usually dead-on or within 0.1 mile. I have several backup 45s carefully stored away - they're getting very hard to find, even at swaps.
I just put a set of barely-used Avocet Cross K 1.25s on my primary bike. The sidewalls look OK - we'll see how well they hold up. Last time I tested a Cross K recently, the tread started coming off in chunks after less than 500 miles.
