I haven't done that yet, but I've had very good luck with them so far. They may not give the feel of fine hand-made tubulars, and they may fail sooner from "normal wear", but the real world is not one of normal wear, but one of glass-strewn roads, and the Kevlar Rallys survive that better than expensive tubulars. As one who gave up repairing tubulars about 1973 after a couple of attempts that resulted in tire bulges that looked like malignant tumors, nothing ruins my day like throwing away a 2 month old $60 tubular because of a glass cut. This doesn't happen as often with cheap Kevlar belted ones, and when it does, chucking a $10 tire is not nearly as stressful. Until the rest of the beer drinkers in Texas follow my example by depositing their bottles in a trash receptacle rather than the roadway, I'll continue to uses these tires.
