Jenex 100SR - 400km. report

Just this weekend I put four new tires on my 100SRs. The old ones,
three of them anyway, went 400K. There is a bit of cord showing on the
center of one of the tires and so, though they are still usable, new
ones went on.
I had "lost" a tire at 240k - the sidewall failed; Jenex replaced that
immediately. The good news, I guess, about that was that the tire still
worked; though for how much longer I can't say. The impression I got,
talking to Jenex, is that they had received two types of tire
("tube-type" and "tubeless") and that one of those ("tube-type") was
prone to premature wear. Some of you may know more about that than I.
FYI - if you have a couple of 1/2" wrenches, you can make a tire
changing tool for the 100SRs from a 3" hex bolt&nut and some washers
for about 55 cents. If interested, LMK and I'll make another post about
dimensions.

rollerski consumers out the regardless if pete's results are
typical, are you willing to rollerski only 10-15 times (@ 40km-26.6km
per session) before having to replace a set of 4 wheels? i wanted my
wheels to last an entire may-october full-time training season, and the
above numbers only would have lasted around one to one and a half
months.

just curious,

No. Unacceptable. Friends on Marwe's r-ski plenty, and get 3, 4 years
on a set.
