I don't own anything from them yet but other people I know have ordered from Zenni and were pleased with what they got.

Today the sun made its first appearance in 10 days. It has been different shades of grey for the last week and a half. Finally it feels normal again!

I don't remember ever hitting my rim against anything and I wasn't going fast at all. :foo: I was clearance item, so I phoned in a reorder from JensonUSA and they sent me a new one at no cost :thumb:

I had to get a new car tire a couple months ago because of a box cutter blade. Look at my rim, something took a bite at my wheel.

What tire is that?

Vittoria Corsa. They're super supple and grippy, but also have no flat resistance :(

I has LASIK eye surgery today, which is awesome. My eyes feel irritated as he'll but I can already see better than with my glasses after just a couple hours. :thumb: Can't wait to go shopping for some neat sunglasses.

I have the Veloflex Masters on my road bike now and I don't mind the lack of lack of puncture resistance. I want great rolling tires.

Got a new La-Z-Boy recliner just in time for the Super Bowl. My worn out 23 y/o recliner was killing my lower back. The new one has a nice firm memory foam and is a lot smaller to better fit my small frame. :)

Today I did 42 miles. Raised the stem on my road bike 10mm and it's more comfy now even though I lost cool points.

Use all your drops and wear the funny protector glasses at night. A girl I worked with didn't and she had all kinds of complications. She did hers right before me so I followed the directions on everything and was fine.

johnnytheboy 02-03-17 12:27 PM

Sticker bomb!

Today it was almost 50 degrees in these parts, the warmest it's been in many weeks.

So I hopped on my road bike and went 29 miles, including some hills. It was great!

Tonight my legs have that pleasantly exhausted feeling, which is something I've been missing.
