The entire ST community is deeply saddened by this. Thanks for sharing.

That was classic!

Did I just feel the earth stop spinning for a moment?

Dude, they are clinchers. You mount them up and ride in 10 minutes. We're not talking about a 3-5 day gluing and break-in process here.

Thanks for caring.

After watching American Idol last night and seeing African children homeless with dead parents, wandering around trash piles and suffering from Malaria, your rant just makes me laugh and shake my head!

Oh well... such is life.

1. Order earlier next time. If you have to 2 day something to get it in time, then maybe you waited too long.

2. They are tires, you don't need to 'train' on them. WOuld have sucked if you got them on time and rode them a lot and ruined (flatted or something) before the race.

3. Sometimes people and companies make mistakes. A good company/person admits this and fixes it. Sounds like Zipp is doing this.

You got Zipp ZedTechs (sp?) in clinchers?!
I'm amazed they made them for you.

You seem surprised...

5mph? Don't be silly! That's attributable to the 200mm cranks, not the tires. The tires are only 1-2 mph tops.

Seriously, mount some old tires and be quiet.

That's just a sign from God telling you that you really should be running Continetals.

Good to know you have american idol to give you some perspective on life :)

Yeah, but this is h2Ofun. We all care, right?

This is immensely maddening and saddening news and I am asking for a day of reflection on this matter. However large my or the world's problems might be, please know that they pale in comparison to yours. Please accept my family and I's greatest, most hearfelt sympathies as you try to deal with not having your tires today. I hope that UPS and Zipp can make this happen tomorrow so that this long national nightmare can come to an end.

I find it ironic the you claim to be doing MORE with LESS when you have Zedtec wheels. When someone with 32 spoke wheels passes you are you then doing LESS with MORE?

We are all free to purchase as many do-dads as we like, but it just seems to go against doing MORE with LESS. If you end up with the coolest bike out there but the least trained engine, does your saying change to "doing the LEAST with the MOST"?

Seriously, lighten up. You kept freaking posting forever how you needed to sell your z99s or 999s to get the zedtec's. Maybe you should have thought about the tires too. When you expect something shipped to you the same week as your race, you should expect to be SOL. Shame on you for calling out Zipp on ST just because they didn't drop everything to service you perfectly!

If it is so important, then go to Performance and get a set of Michilen Pro 2 Races. Those things are fast.

Jump in your car (the expensive one, not the one you use to claim that you don't spend money on cars) and go for a drive round the lake to cool off. When you get back you'll probably realize that you can always stick some crappy 100 dollar tires on your 5000 dollar wheels and they'll still go round. If you still haven't stopped crying, go pet your unicorn for a bit...

((shudder)) zedtech clinchers, the horror

tell me at least you have some swanky latex tubes, right? Cuz you know the rolling resistance benefit of clinchers is basically wiped out if you use butyl - E

It's a tough room here. Now over at BT there'd be hugs a plenty.

Well shit, there goes your entire season.

You're a high maintenance customer. I bet when all is said and done Zipp will be giving you another set of wheels just to get rid of you. :-)
