High performance tire
Even the wire bead version has a thin sidewall and thin casing. This makes for a very supple tire with excellent ride quality. I don't know how long it will last as the top of the tread feels so thin, but you definitely feel the made in Japan quality. The only negative is that though it's listed as a 1.5 - it was measured at actually 1.38 on a 26mm wide rim. this didn't bother me but just something of note.

Made in Japan model SNZG13J1
1 of 1 found this helpful I ordered this model because it came with the bracelet and more importantly, is made in Japan. The movement is tuned well and it's very accurate for an automatic movement. The day has two language choices English or Arabic. the sides of the body and the side of the bezel are polished while the top of the watch has a brushed finish. The bracelet is squeaky but that was quickly resolved by melting wax on the bracelet when detached from the watch. Although I like the bracelet as an option, I installed a light brown leather strap and the watch looks even better! My only gripe is that the second hand doesn't isn't long enough to get close to the minute markers. I expect that I would have the second hand replaced with something longer and perhaps all red if I get it modified with a sapphire crystal down the line. The size is a solid medium, which I like for my 7" wrist. The quality and finish are very good and I'm impressed with the value of this Seiko field style watch. The only true negative is the shape of the back of this watch - it looks to be the same caseback as the smaller SNK models so if the bracelet is a tad loose, the watch sits on your wrist slightly canted since the case back to body transition is rather abrupt. I got used to this and the watch grows on me more as I wear it. In the dark , the glowing hour markers makes more sense being so far from the second hand. I still highly recommend this watch!

Great idea, poor execution
0 of 2 found this helpful I have used Veloplugs on at least 3 sets of wheels. I used to really love them, until my recent wheel build where when I wondered why it was so hard to mount my wire bead tires. I like to train on wire bead and mount Kevlar tires for special trips or for performance events. The Veloplugs add distance to the inner diameter of the inner bed of the rim, which makes mounting tires harder - especially with less flexible ones like wire bead tires. I replaced all of my wheelsets with snap on nylon rim strips and it totally resolved my problems. If they can make these lower profile, they may work, but the real solution is just to use standard rim tape like Velox or snap on rim strips.
