Very early days for me. I've gone very narrow (19mm) and I've had one Crit on it, but so far so good. One thing though, I didn't end up using the tape, they were glued on like normal. Not sure if that makes a difference. I really do like the Vittoria Evo Tech singles, but I've just been suffering too many punctures using them and they are bloody expensive.bomber wrote:Everyone I've ever spoken to slates the Tufo's in terms of ride and handling compares with traditional tubulars.

Weighed it at the LBS and it came in just under 6.7kg as is. Rides very well, as good as I hoped. Now all I have to do is start training enough to do it some sort of justice.

What happened to it? Hopefully it won't take as long to get out here to you this time.
Gotta say, I'm loving the CAAD 10 I picked up from Sean at Chilli last week!

I've bought another set of 404's so I can keep them on it permanently. I've come around to the whole "what's the point of having race wheels if you only use them a few times a month" point of view. I'll be riding Zipp tub's almost everywhere.

Congrats on getting it back and properly sorted mate - will you be at Cloverlea tomorrow???

Sad to hear you had a crash mate. What happened?macca33 wrote:Saw your rig down the club last Sunday and it looks fantastic. Didn't see you at all - perhaps because I was too busy picking the road out of my jersey / knicks and legs after my crash...
cheers
It wasn't mine you saw. It must have been GT's. His is the same frame except SRAM red. Very nice setup. I'll be back in the groove at the club in a month or so.
Hope you recover ok.

Hopefully yours is faring well - or has the derailleur hanger played up again?
