Zatek Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Tubbies is for races. Just testing the wheels before using them in a race.
NISI Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Do you okes that ride tubbies have team cars following you?just ride with a spare tubbie
Christie Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 why would you need a team car? A clever person invented slime and it works like charm.Bad idea imo - how do you clean the old latex out? At some point that latex ball could give your wheel a speed wobble.
Christie Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I weigh 89kg, ride on 12 bar with Assos bibs but I am not telling you must age..... Geepers, 12 bar is a lot - tires and saddle are the primary factors for ride comfort on a road bike imo.The max rated pressure is not the max recommended pressure.I used 6.8 bar for road racing, 5.5 bar for very wet conditions or criteriums where there were rough paving - no snakebite problems with tubbies.(my racing weight was 69kgs)For TTs I used 8.5 bar.

Some okes in here pomp kliphard. Although below 7 Bar I worked straight through the rubber. I do 8 Bar on 72kgs, 22mm front and back on training and racing wheels.
Mongoose! Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 why would you need a team car? A clever person invented slime and it works like charm.What kind of slime? For sure not Stans...I am so through with tubbies.
CAAD4 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015  I sometimes train with them, but I am very lucky and have an incredible missus.She's always on standby for me. Sometimes she follows me with the SUV on the road bike.She often washes my MTB after a muddy race.When I get out the shower, the thorns have been removed and bike is squeaky clean. In fact she even cleans the gas braai after a braai .[/quot The first half almost sounds believable. Zatek for racing, I understand.
