Vittoria Rally tires
Just a question about tubular tires
I have now used the Ambrossis wheel build for only 125+Kms with a Vittoria Rally 28-25 with tub tape, I have now noticed that the tire rides now with a bump and the tire is slightly wider after the valve for six or so inches.
A is it the cheap training tire
B has I mucked up the fitting of the tub tape and tire
Thanks for your thoughts

I've been riding Rally's for years and one of the tradeoffs for a tire that costs $17.00 from Wiggle is that there are occasional blemishes, including bumps at the valve stem. I have never had a bump that I could not get used to. I have ridden Corsas in the past when they were " only " $45.00 and find little difference in ride quality. I too ride on Ambrosio rims ( Nemesis ). Great rims, far superior to the crap Mavic has put out for the last 20 years! Enjoy!

B. Maybe - was this Tufo tape or something else? I haven't heard of many lumpy stories, but some tapes are thicker'n others so... maybe.

tubular tire sewup tire Servizio Corse $19.95 tubular tires at Yellow Jersey; possibly the Best Value Tubular In America for 2017! has some inexpensive tubulars worth checking out. They are a huge improvement over Vittoria Rally tires, and about the same price.

Tufo tape is very thin.
