I'm in that mode of tire hunting for the year, right now. Currently flip-flopping between the Vittoria Corsa TLR and Michelin Power TLR. I probably still have another 1500+ miles left on my Schwalbe, though, and I'm still months aware from being able to ride skinny tires outside, so I have the luxury of sitting back and waiting for a deal, but I don't expect to do much better than $40-50 each. |

After feeling pretty good during the previous session of fake non-miles, I felt pretty blah during a short session this morning. The whole getting and staying in shape thing is... :notamused:

Has anyone any experience with panaracer tyres? I just ordered a set to test out on the road bike. But if anyone has any experience I'd like to hear about it
I've also got a set of their Pari-Moto 650b x 38 that are just lovely. And a set of the Panaracer-made Rene Herse 650b x 38 extralights that are sublime. The set of T-Serv 32mm that came on a used bike I bought are pretty good for "commuter" tires. I like Panaracer a lot. |

It also looks like maxis changed the tread pattern on the detonators. The old tread was an old fashion groove pattern that would hold debris, metal shards, glass etc. And allow it to puncture the tire. They might be worth another look. The thing I like about the panaracers is they are still made in Japan. Hopefully it'll stay there and continue to offer a lower cost but higher quality competition to the other brands. Most co. Have moved to Chinese manufacturing, and yet prices continue to climb. Its gets my ocd going. Even Kenda koontach's are $50. And they're horrible. Or, at least used to be. The Chaong cobras were ok but theyve disappeared. |

I have a weakness for The Price is Right. My grandmother watched us when a lot when we were young when our school in "the country" had snow days while the public school where mom worked was open. She used to make us watch it and "All My Children" with her.
My mom took voice lessons from the wife of the actor who played Paul Martin in "All My Children" circa 1975 so we ended up following it for a few years. |

Thank you for the review. Thats what I'm looking for. Honest seat of the pants opinions. How they felt, lasted, etc. This place needs that kind of database |

Do they still do the mountaineer guy with the yodeling in the background?? That was my favorite.
What I am having a hard time getting used to is Ken Jennings hosting "Jeopardy!" It's something about the tome and cadence of his voice now that he is speaking more than when he was a contestant. |

I can still hear the tune. I don't watch it that much now that I am back working in the office most days so I don't know if they still play it.

Heh, I did 3:55AM for 21 years. After awhile you grow to love the serenity the early morning offers. It was the 75 mile commute each way I hated.

Ha. I don't know if any of the store-level employees has a hand in assembly, but you can bet your ass that I'd go over everything before riding in earnest.

Great zwift ride tonight, ftp went up again. 248 from zwift ,
247 from strava. Starting to feel stronger on the bike. I've lost a couple lbs. to, thats kinda nice also. I did not want to ride tonight. I slept poorly last night. Legs were sore too. Fixed my headset. Spun for a while on a preride warm up. Didn't help. The first 10 min. Were long. For example, back before winter, I decided to try for a PR on a 5 mile stretch a local club uses as half their 10 mile time trial. Instead of doing any kind of warmup, I figured to warm up on the road, gradually building up the effort. I was going pretty well, but as I got closer to LT, my lungs/chest started feeling 'off', like I wasn't able to get in anywhere near enough air, and/or I was feeling kinda queasy. So I really let off the last 200 yards, and missed the PR. As my HR came down, I felt better, so I went on with the ride. Later in the ride, I blew past LT a couple times, feeling strong and not at all like I had earlier. I figured it was an off day. A week or so later, I did a Ramp Test on Zwift, just spinning for a 5 minute warmup, all under 120 bpm, because I'd read somewhere that the Ramp Test is its own warmup. Pretty much exactly the same thing happened, same feeling in the chest, same slight nausea, and I ended crapping out about 60 watts lower than the previous time I'd done it. I went on with the ride, and like the time before, I pushed myself well past LT a couple times - sprints, pushing on climbs, etc - and felt fine. Next time I did a Ramp Test, I made sure to ride a good 15 minutes with some hard efforts to drive up HR, and sure enough, I was back to the same level as the first time. That was with a dumb trainer, using zPower. Then I got the Snap, and did the Ramp Test in Erg Mode. Blew up/hit death spiral about 60 watts lower that with zPower, which leads me to believe zPower way overestimated output! Also decided Erg Mode is a harsh mistress. |
