Kept checking it every time we stopped because I wasn't sure.
Yeah, there's a rubber gasket on the Zipps and they recommend pulling that down and over the pawls before inserting, but that gasket doesn't always seem to re-seat cleanly, so I just leave the gasket in place to do gaskety things and I use whatever thin-bladed tool that I have on-hand to nudge the pawls.

Cassette comes tomorrow, not sure what tires yet but I’m leaning toward whatever I can find
I seem to recall seeing some decent-ish prices ($50-60 ea) on the Michelin Power Roads the other day. Inventory on 28s is running pretty thin across the board, though - it's almost as if they've become the new default enthusiast size....
