I've used Chicken Hawk for years and have had great luck, but I didn't race last year with the N-tech where you need to set hot pressure.

Any recommendations on tire warmers? I heard the digital one's are all made by the same company, true?

I LOVE the Sumoto ones we sell..>DPW turned me onto them last year. We sold over 30 sets with only 1 front tire warmer that had issue (of course it was my own bike! and it was because a crew guy forgot to unplug as it was wrapped up!) They are cheap and work amazing!

Also, Lauralynn on here has some too...ive never tested..hint hint...maybe i could be a dealer for them in portland if they work well...hmmm... ;)

The new woodcraft ones are supposed to be kickass. They have a mechanism that turns them off when NOT on the tire so you don't melt them and can leave them plugged in and now worry about destroying them. They are digital as well, multiple settings etc.

I haven't tried them yet but Eric has been working hard the past 2 years to make them a reality.

Also, the T2 warmers are supposed to be pretty good as well. Another racer owned business and good guy to work with.
