Where'd you get the blue housings?
Did I say 175psi? Apparently not because that would have been impossible. People keep telling me. I did lose a few fillings from my teeth but they'll be okay after a few trips to the dentist.

Okay, all seriousness aside, the tires are marked 115-200. I wanted to see what that felt like. Didn't ride far enough to tell much. I probably won't ever run them like that, but I do like 140-145psi in the clincher version of this tire (Open Corsa) on the Masi.

The blue housing came from Harris Cyclery, about 10 minutes from the house. I just go in and ask.

For spreading the glue, I used a thin disposable glove. Fingers do pretty well for most things.

Tom, that saddle is a WTB Speed V. Ubiquitous, comfortable, inexpensive, lightweight. What's not to love?
