Major suck, and I'm not sure if it worked. I used a regular patch on a latex tube.

I don't think a butyl patch will work too well on a latex tube.

It's been awhile bit I remember having a very hard time sewing the thing back together. The casing was very hard so it was difficult to push the needle through, and I was so annoyed with the hassle that I did not do a very uniform job of sewing, so when I re-inflated the tire it had a bulge and was effin useless.

I asked him directly about the dura ace versus the williams, he has used both. He hedged and said both were good wheels....which I suppose is true.

I am waiting to hear back from Rob/PSIMET to see what he has to offer. I may end up going with him. But I can't even decide if I want carbon or aluminum rims. Those williams with the 38mm depth are perfect semi-aero for a lightweight like me. I think Rob uses 50mm carbon rims which are probably too deep for me.

Then again my current wheels are not terrible, so I may keep riding them for another season or two....

Are these the Dura Ace wheels you're talking about?

I have always liked the way these look.

They do look nice but too deep a section for a lightweight like me.

I don't have a pic but the ones I am considering I think are the WH-7850 c24 TL, you know the ones that PCAD has and raves about.

I just watched a nice Christmas musical program on PBS. I hope Razor saw it instead of mingling with the Scrooges here.

I'm ready. At any rate I am sorry you scrapped pavement and did not have sufficient base layers for protection.

The new garlic powder has a flip up cap for the shaker, unscrewing it like the old one results in stinky lasagna.

I've made note of this.
