Tubular Tire mini-workshop
Posted by pastavibes on July 6, 2007
I’ve never had to deal with mounting tubular tires before, and
probably neither have most of you, but I recently got a bike with
tubular tires, and they need replacing. So I figured I might as well
share the experience. Are you’re interested in seeing how tubular
tires go on, or maybe you’ve got an old set of tubular rims that
you’d like to breathe new life into by gluing on some new tires. Let
me know if you’re interested, and I’ll try to arrange a time when all
interested parties can get together.
If you don’t know anything about tubular tires, but would like to
