So you're saying I SHOULDN'T go for the set of 4 wheels with correct-age Dura Ace hubs, but tubular rims, all for only $250?
Seriously, though - I KNOW what to do if I get a flat with a clincher. Tubular? I presume you tear it off the rim and replace with another pre-glued, pre-stretched one you have in the tire bag slung under your saddle? Then what do you do about the one with the puncture? Surgery?

When my sight went bad on a particularly cold and windy 200k, Ashton Lambie caught me, and guided me in. That's my claim to fame. That day, I had to wait about 2.5 hours for my sight to come back.

You can see that ‘stache a wayz off.
I once ran a 38:00-ish 10k on a hilly course at a college XC championship meet. I made it to the chute and immediately began to stumble. I stayed upright to grab my popsicle stick, but couldn’t walk after that. I had such bad vertigo, I had to hold onto the grass to keep from falling off the ground. No nausea, interestingly. I crawled to the team van and it passed in maybe 20 min. A motivated endurance athlete can really reroute some blood flow, man.

So it's starting to look like I might be homeless shortly.
I received notice that my closing is June 1st. Every potential house that I was entertaining has been sold @ insane pricing. Nothing as of yet, has replaced these properties in the market.

It’s a great time to sell but an awful time to buy. My advice? Rent for a year or two and buy after the market correction.

Oooh - anybody interested in some $30ea, funky-colored GravelKing LTD/SK LTD tubeless tires? Olive, purple, mustard, etc? If I could figure out which might look not-horrible with the black/blood red Haanjo, I might pick up a pair, too. https://www.excelsports.com/promotio...-ltd-tire-sale
*it says $39 on the linked page, but if you click through to the size/color options, they're all $29.98.

I currently live southeast of Greenville in Simpsonville. What shop will you be working in? Hit me up if I can help you out. Just moved here about 18 months ago. I think you will really like it.
