Default FS: V2 Aero 125s

For Sale: V2 Aero 125s with speed reducers. New style frames with
mounting holes for 150s. Split rims, 1 set of usable tires, 1 set
usable tubes. About 1500K on them, since fall 2002.

When I bought them, I bought them in good faith, supported Len's efforts
to fix the wheel problem, and even PAID for the Split Rims, when Robin
told me they weren't sending those out free. While I applaud Jenex's
efforts to make good on the initial tire failures, I don't think they
went far enough to make good once they realized that the skis are only
suitable for someone 150lbs.

In truth, I still like the way the 125s feel better than my new Marwes,
but at 190lb, I keep having tube problems and cannot afford to coach
highschoolers on a pair of skis that can (and have) leave me hung out to
dry several miles from home or the school.

If someone would like them, I'll make a good deal, but I won't give them
away.

Default V2 Aero 125s

Hello,
I also have a pair of Aero SR 125's. I weigh 180 lbs.and had nothing but
problems. I agree Jenex has a very defensive attitude. After I returned my
first tire I received "evidence" photos from Len. He chewed me apart saying
I did everything wrong i.e. didn't inflate to correct pressure, and didn't
talc the tube. Actually the tire was never disassembled by me before the
flat, so the whole issue of lack of talc is a moot point. Moreover, I
inflated religiously before each workout. Yeah I'm frustrated just as you
are. It is intersecting how he singles out people on his news site whom have
had trouble with the tires. As though they are a select few whom can't get
their sh... together. As he mentioned on his web site last season, these
people are "no name skiers". This only reinforces Jenex's elitist attitude
toward the paying consumer. You may want to check and see if they installed
o rings on the new SR rim. They forgot on mine. This helped a little, but I
continued to have tire failures. It's a little late now, but you could have
inflated to 90+ psi. This helped some what for me.
