Had to tell someone- TUFO makes 700x25 tubulars. Mounted them up on my Ksyriums and went for ride around the Palos Verdes peninsula near Los Angeles. A great bike ride and the tires were amazing. Use about 100 psi in them; took the harshness out of the Ksyriums and attenuated that annoying road buzz that you get from tar strips and poor surfaces. About a 40 mile ride with 1500 feet of climbing.

Wow, I have heard that there are some tubulars for clincher wheelsets, never seen them and always wondered if they would work. I belived that the alu side would take away the tubular effect and that they would behave more or less as a normal clincher tube with tire.fel bautista wrote:Had to tell someone- TUFO makes 700x25 tubulars.

Now you got my curious
What about glue, do you have to use the sticky stuff to assure a nice fit? That has always been my main reason to keep away from tubulars.
Nice post
BTW, new bikeis now set and ready to go, had to wait a few weeks for a new headset. I'll try to get some riding photos up next week.

There is no such thing as tailwind -- it's either against you or you're simply having great legs!

Here is a pic of me after my 100 mile Century ride in Yosemite Valley.
I rode 100 miles in 12 hours on a beautiful May day in 1989 atop my 54" 1885 Rudge Light Roadster.
It was made in Coventry, England and I purchased it it 1987 from a fellow club member in Concord, Mass.
I have ridden it at IVCA Rallys in England, Scotland, Holland, and Belgium.
The pub crawls are the best!
I still ride it as often as I can. It is a real rush if traffic!
Also some close ups of my wheel.
Cheers! Richard

It has a 54" front driver and a 17" rear trailer. It is a fixed axle so coasting is only with your feet off the pedals.

Finally took delivery of my new (to me, at least) bike. Apparently my young bob-tail likes it quite a lot ... cats are amazing in their ability to leap up onto something not entirely stable, without sending it over. Somehow I don't expect him to tolerate an actual ride.
