Tubular-Clinchers

[Battler]

(Tubbies that fit on a Clincher rim - Tufo Brand amongst others)

 

 

 

I saw these on Supercycling the other night and I see that CWC Online is also selling them...

 

 

 

Has anyone used them yet/before?

 

 

 

Any comments?

I've been using them for years. Very nice. Never had a puncture thusfar. They feel very similar to traditional tubbies.

tufo tubbies are some of the most decently priced tubbies around. I've ridden mine for half a year and haven't punctured. (probably cause they filled with slime, similar to running tubeless on a MTB.

 

Althought they did cost R730 each...

A cowboy named Mzokoto was overseeing his herd in a remote

mountainous pasture in Mphompha when suddenly a brand-new BMW 6 Series Coupe

advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni

suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out of the window and

says to the cowboy,

 

"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you

have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"

 

Mzokoto looks at the man,

obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly

answers, "Sure. Why not?"

 

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell

notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to

a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact

fix on his location.  He feeds this to another NASA satellite that scans the

area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital

photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in

Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that

the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL

database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his

Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out

a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-Tech Miniaturized HP LaserJet printer

and turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and

calves."

 

"That's right,"  says Mzokoto. "Well, I guess you can take one

of my calves."

 

He watches the young man select one of the animals, and

looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

 

 

Then Mzokoto says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly

what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

 

The young man

thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

 

"You're an

IT Consultant", says Mzokoto.

 

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie,

"but how did you guess that?"

 

"No guessing required," answered the

cowboy.

 

"You showed up here even though nobody called you; you wanted

to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried

to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about

cows...this is a herd of sheep. . ...Now give me back my dog."
