How do you like the Maxxis?

26 miles Friday. Quick 19 today. I LOVE Spring.

Glad to see you riding again Chip :-)

So far so good. Hold air pretty well, but I'd like a bigger tire. Weather has been pretty crappy around Boston. It's either cold, windy or both. Went out on Saturday morning. Haven't stepped it up to two water bottles yet. Like the looks of one cage better, but that'll limit how far I can go.

Nice bikes here! I got a Specialized Allez for next to nothing last fall because of a certain "defect." LOL

Rides like a dream though, and I abuse the crap out of it everyday.

New bib-shorts and jersey are in the queue for this spring. Assos only!

Just got into riding. Using a single speed so I usually jsut go for short 15 mile rides. Thinking of doing 50 miles but with one girl it will be hard. Buddy has an old gear bike he will sell for cheap, and looking into it.

What helmets do you guys wear? I am in the market for a new one.
[Reply]

I have a Giro Ionos. I usually go for the top of line helmet, even better if it's a leftover when a new model comes out. There is a difference between the high end and lower stuff.

Ordered a new helmet today. Kask Mojito

They are an obscure player in the US helmet market. Have you bought their helmets before? I am unfamiliar with them. Looks pretty cool. What's the price point on that?
[Reply]

They are coming on VERY strong in the US market. Mainly because they are what Team SKY uses. Hard enough that they are nearly impossible to find. I had to try them on at the local Trek store and order it online as they only had 3 in stock and this color is sold out nationwide (Highway Two distributor). Nearly every publication and review is raving about them with 10/10 review scores.

The Mojito is $200. The Vertigo is one step above at $250. They have others, but they are mostly old models.

I did hit a milestone today. 41.3mph. Fastest I have gotten yet.

Getting ready for a ride. Humid as all be right now outside :-(
[Reply]

Got in 40 miles yesterday.
[Reply]

Good for you! I have been a candy-a** all season. Went out today; just under 20 miles. Need to start putting more time into each ride...
[Reply]

Yeah, it was a good ride. Made it back about 5 mins before the rain started. Had a fill BG fit today. A lot of adjustments made.
[Reply]

Any of you folks use a Fizik saddle?
[Reply]

No, they look pretty cool though. Typically they are more narrow and long styled.

Just picked up an Antares VSX on Amazon Warehouse for $131

Looking for recommendations on a first road bike. I"m currently looking at used Felt's and Specialized. Are Trek, Cannondale, Giant worth looking into as well?
