swift Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 This is just out of interest. I wanna see where our little SA market is compared to the international guys...
swift Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Tubular on MTB? Really? Yip, really A lot of the overseas pros have been riding them for a while now. With the new compounds and technology, they are making these things close to bomb-proof. Tufo do them - www.tufo.com Word on the street is the father of carbon wheels (Corima - www.corima.com) are going to have a set ready soon. They already do full carbon cyclo-cross tubular wheels.

scotty Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Std clincher with slime, have yet to change a tube in a race.
ridesleeprepeat Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 conversion kit with Stan's magic sauce... never had an issue and done about 7000km on the wheels...
Bos Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 What makes it better than tubeless?? I dont really understand the poin on MTB? the punture possibilitys are the same but you bring the snakebite back into the equasion or am I mistaken, can anyone give the lowdown, weight etc etc? also If you do puncture, then what? cant see these being used in races like the epic, but hell, prove me wrong!
ridesleeprepeat Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I think the swiss power pro's have been riding on a tubies for a couple of seasons...
BAMF_SS Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 does anyone actually know anything about them - weight? difficulty of repair/change in race? etc etc
swift Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 I will find out and get back to you guys... I am not sure about the pros and cons of tubular MTB wheels.
markStockton Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Tubular on MTB? Really? Yip, saw some on Mighty Mouses Volcan at the bike park the other day. You don't want to know the price. Infact I seem to have blocked that info from my memory.
