Bought a pair of Vittoria Pave evo 24 mm clinchers for the winter. I have a pair of michelin pro race 3's I bought about 2 months ago when I was in a pinch and I hate them. I had open corsa cx's prior but the LBS doesn't stock vittoria so when the rear started to show threads I needed a tire like now, which is where the michelin's came from. Can't wait to be back on vittoria's.

Nothing like Assos for winter riding. One of the best investments ever.

I love my airjack. One of the best purchases I've made. With a Sugoi 290 wool baselayer underneath, it's toasty!

Yes of course. It may be a while though. I just sent my powertap back to saris to have them put new bearings in it so it may be like 2-3 weeks but I'll let you know how they are.

My god is that jacket warm :thumbup:

Also cars were giving me much more room when overtaking as well. Felt much safer wearing an all white jacket
