Some cheap Tiagra 10-speed shifters and derailleurs, so I can convert my old Felt Z1 frame into a backup/rain/Zwift bike:

Unior USA is having a spring sale, and I have always hated using a chain whip, so:

Still in sticker shock from buying a pair of Conti 5000 AS TRs tubeless. This is after my relatively new (maybe 20 rides) Schwalbe Pro One suffered a catastrophic puncture. Can’t plug it.

Moots RCS and a Spurcycle bell, as usual. Took the Foundation 45s off and put on the Zipp 303 Discs today. Also took off the ENVE bars and put on Pro PLT flat tops. Added the power meter spider. Picked up a few Schwalbe Aerothans as backups for all the diff bikes.
+ new Arundel Dave-Os. Old ones went to the BMC.

I had a fairly large hole from a 10 penny nail that got jammed in my tire one day. It did not leak at all which shocked me, and I was able to make it home. I had to use pliers to pull it out, but the sealant would not close it even after I put two plugs in it. The tires were pretty new, only 200 miles give or take. I took the tire off, clean it up, let it dry, then dropped some super glue around the plugs, inside and outside the tire and let it setup for a couple of days. Remounted, added in the sealant, and I have about 2k miles on those tires now and have not had any problems with the plug. I was a little nervous the first couple of rides, so I stayed close to home in case I had to walk back, but I don't even think about it now, like it never happened.

How do you like those Maxxis tires. I had some of the Re-Fuse and another model, Columbiere maybe, anyway, I really wanted to like them, but found them to be flat magnets. Could not get them off my bike fast enough after a 3 flat day once. Sad too, as I thought they rolled really well.

So far, they have been quite good. They roll decently and have been tough. My roads/paths are decent but winter sees mag chloride and debris in certain areas. I have also ridden over broken glass while holding my breath a couple of times, though glass is rare for me. They have held up well. I do have Pirelli Cinturato Velos waiting to replace them but I'll keep them on for a while longer. I did not want to like these Maxxis tires but I have started to. Apparently, the Pirellis roll faster and are softer feeling so I'll find out after I swap them in a month or so. I'll keep these Maxxis tires for next winter.

Waiting on BB Cups to arrive so I can swap Athena 11 speed (silver) off another bike.
Have Waterford behind for frame geometry/size comparison.
