GoLefty!! Posted December 6, 2006 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
