Despite the best intentions of the PO, I found my package from Compass in the package locker just now -- deliveryperson had apparently left the key in someone else's box, who opened the locker and was (1) honest enough not to steal the contents but (2) dumb enough to leave the filled locker open to the public. Anyway, Deo gratias, contents were safe and the were, seriatim:
1 package from Compass with an early pair of the new Elk Pass; 1 Tonyon lock as blogged by Dave Moulton. The tires -- what can I say? Made by Panracer, but paper thin -- they make the Parigi Roubaix look like thick cardboard. One hundred and seventy grams with rubber band on my Pelouze! Six ethereal ounces! Tomorrow, God willing, I will pick up the (Riv content '99 Joe gofast) wheels that I had rebuilt from 650C -- I paid the $35 rush fee for 2 day delivery. Hell, I should have tried to build them myself, except it would have taken longer to get the Revolutions -- yes, with alloy nipples. (This will be a super super super light wheelset; no dish to compromise things. The tires will ineluctably require sealant, but that's no big deal when they are fully 14 grams lighter even than 650C X 23 Michelin PR 4s. The re-used, cleaned up 559 Sun M14A rims weigh ~380 compared to the very similar but eyeletted 650C ME14As' 425 grams. That's a 60 gram/2 oz weight saving over an already very light wheel; and this promises much better comfort and much less anxiety about our common 4"+ pavement expansion cracks. The Tonyon lock weighs 1 3/4 lb and has not the appearance, at least, of Kryptonite's quality, but for the price it's worth a try. It is certainly compact. Hopefully I'll get at least a quick ride on the Elks tomorrow; having been riding Pro Race 3s on the gofast, I will be very eager to learn the difference with the Elks. -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.
