Yeah... what he said! I'll even accept the used but clean ones with the slow leaks!

You guys really don't want to mess (MESS!) with tubulars, tubs, sew-ups, slow-ups. Here... read Aldo Ross's stuff if you don't believe me.

Tubulars by A.Ross

Tubulars require glue A very messy thing to do And even when the wheels are gone The sticky spots will linger on

Tubasti by A.Ross

Tubasti on the sidewalls Tubasti on the spokes Tubasti on my workbench Sticking to the nuts and bolts

Tubasti on my fingers Tubasti on my arms Tubasti on my chin and cheeks I hope it won’t cause harm

Tubasti on the light switch Tubasti on the cat Tubasti on my shoes and socks And on my car’s floor mat

Tubasti on the carpet Tubasti in my hair I tried to glue just one damn tire Now Tubasti’s everywhere!
