More questions on Corsas on general. What are they like to repair? Are they just another traditional hard to peel off base tape, stitching, that light cloth tape inside, latex tube like the good tires of old, only with modern fabrics and thread? I like the G+ (and I think I've ridden a G 2.0 or two) a lot. If the tubular equivalents are solid tires as well as being as nice a ride as the clinchers, I'm in. (I do have something of a soft spot for Vittoria tubulars as I believe most of the rib tread cottons I trained and commuted on in my sewup days were Vittorias rebranded to whatever.) The vast majority were decent tires. Not great but club race-able and not a hardship to ride. $15-20 with few surprises BITD.
