Been riding tubulars since I first began cycling back in the 70's. Started w/ Vittoria's, but switched to Veloflex & haven't looked back. Great riding tire & durable. I like the 'Sprinter' & 'Criteriums' in particular.
A friend once brought me back a pair of Signature Veloflex's on his return trip from Italy in the 90's since I owned a Colnago. They read
'Colnago Master' on the sidewalls. I treasured these tires for years & 1 tire still is OK...
I've always glued my tubulars on & use Vittoria Mastk 1. Stuff is very sticky & really don't relish the task, but it's always held strong.
I'll have to look into Tufo Tape? Sounds easy~peasy. How difficult is it, removing taped tubulars from the rims?
Jeff: as much riding as you do, I think you'd luv the ride tubulars can give...
