Tom- Ahhhh, the old "these clinchers ride almost as nice as any tubular" schitk. How come I never hear anybody say, "Gee I really like these tubulars, they ride almost as nice as clinchers"?? Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT

       Back then there was a marked difference between the two types of tires but today there is not all that much difference. Better tubulars...worse sew ups? I think the former, although I haven't seen a set of silk sew ups in quite a while. Plus, even with Kevlar Spinskins under them the 200 gram Vittorias are very fast and smooth running. Did I mention how much less work they are?
