TitusTi Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I've been reading about these for a while, I have no interest in getting any whatsover but would like to broaden my knowledge on this topic. Anyone know what varieties are around (GoLefty!!)?
rock Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 as a kid I used to watch my dad kick, scream and curse while trying to glue his tubbies in the garage......from then I decided that I would never involve myself with such devices....... clincher's fo' life yo!
GoLefty!! Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Tufo are teh only company I know of who manufacture Tubular tyresfor MTB.Makes sense if used with sealant and glue is unlikely to mekt since disc brakes are de'riguer these days. only issues I can imagine would be glueing the bloody things on straight. Seen a set at Willie, as Borat would say, [cue cheap grin] is niiiiiice[cheap grin off]
rock Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks Rock' date=' that didn't help at all![/quote'] my pleasure...... (btw buckshot just text me - he's riding his new bike.......which doesn't have tubbies on)
TitusTi Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 What new bike? Oh, don't worry, I have no interest in riding these things, just an interesting technology?
rock Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 one day the rim and tyre will just be one unit that will never buckle, bend, flat or wear out......one day.....in the year 2000. new bike..........its a 26er
TitusTi Posted December 6, 2006 Author Posted December 6, 2006 Does he not learn? What does it take to educate people in this country, alot as is evident by the number of people still on hardtails I suppose.
GoLefty!! Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Ti ti ti, you should no that if the Pro's aren't using it then it's no good.The obsession with a lackof weight is the one obsession to rule them all. I mean why bother with a frnt suspension at all???!! Sunn Obsys, now that was a light stiff and almost zero travel race winner.
rock Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 obsys, that brings back memories....thing is not only did it have the no travel (claimed 25mm) it actually weighed a ton.......french...go figure...
TitusTi Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 Well, is anyone going to let us in on the secret? What is BuckShot riding now?
