It sealed once I removed the screw and pumped it a few times, but swapped that to the Zipp anyway. May not have needed to, and leaving the front on until something happens. Great tires, and the RR tests well.

Mine are the 700x40s though, FWIW.
Was considering picking those up, good to know.

I looked at some rides, I guess closer to 40.

I mean, riding, of course.
My wife encourages me to go, in fact, I'm bagging work a little early today at her encouragement so I can get 60-70 in assuming the storms hold off. Would love to ride with her, but she has a foot problem that prevents her from wearing tight cycling shoes, which is a bummer for her.
