You have my attention with this one. I have two 17-year old Continental Sprinters that still hold air just fine but bulge a bit in places. Needless to say, I don't ride them anymore.

Listers: I am sure this topic has been covered numerouis times. However since I was not riding tubulars THEN, I undoubtedly passed over the advice. Please bear with me and I can receive a few messages about cleaning and restoring the sidewalls with 'latex?' coating if appropriate or some other elixir coupounded by the seriious alchemist on the list. Thanks for the consideration. BT
