Hey!....................Guys!

There is such a beast as a 27'' tubular!..................Catch though, it's was a custom made tire for a custom made rim. I had one in my hands a few weeks ago......It was made for a special ''TIME TRIAL!'' bike............I had this tire in my hands and the shop owner said, it's a special size!.......It will not fit your tubes............One other seller from another shop handed me a tubular rim and it was filled with ''CEMENT!'' another time trial type goofy type of thing! I said is this for reals or is it a joke!............He said with a ''SERIOUS LOOK!'' it's for reals! Ya!...Ya!

BTW: AND IS TOTALLY OFF TOPIC!..............But goes to show you what type of goofy or not so goofy things are coming out of Holland. The Dutch MT biking team for this upcoming Olympics! They will be riding mt bikes with 700C tubular wheels. Tires will be bigger than your normal Cyclocross tires of which Dugast is making the tires, at least this is what I was told.....A few weeks ago the head wrench was here looking for the widest 700C tubular rims. Now I don't know if this is to be a big suprise! Anyway!........................You didn't hear it from me!
