Which Tubs?

Ambrosio still do the Nemesis and F20 Crono tubular rims and I think Halo do a 32H tubular rim too.

Most tubular rims these days are carbon, so finding decent aluminium rims is becoming harder.

anyone got any cheap vittoria corsa's or conti sprinters going spare?
I'm building up a tub wheelset for HH come summer and right now I'm as poor as a church mouse. So can't afford the 45 notes the vittoria's set you back new...
Anyone have any let me know...
many thanks

I've a pair of Hutchinson Tempos you can have for free. They've seen light usage at HH only.

andy lifesaver, will grab from you when I return...

if anyone else has any spare tubs they want rid of I will accommodate you...

I've got plenty of 36H tub rims to get rid of if you or anyone else is interested.

Cheers, but I sort of though 32h was overdoing it a bit, let alone 36. I'm not gonna be jumping up any curbs on these.

Hmm, those ambrosios are £70 or so. The reflexes are £40ish which is more do-able, but I was holding out for something a bit smarter or with a bit of an aero profile.

Maybe I should've got up earlier and trawled round the jumble the other day.

I was thinking of building some tubular wheels for next season, as something to go between basic training wheels and expensive racing wheels. I've got some 32h hubs - where are all the rims!

I can find Mavic Reflexs, and mentions of loads of NOS rims which are £70+ each, but where the hell is everything else!? Am I doomed to trawl the classifieds for months?

Schmitty has some tub training wheels on his koga in the VCL shed. 32h look like black deep v, he got them from edwards. No idea what they are, but you could have a look.

MAVIC Mach2 CD
JC, got a new pair of these in 32H for a fair price.

There's a tubular version of the Velocity Deep V called the Pro Elite that BLB might have as distributor.

Should have popped to LMNH yesterday as there where some Vittoria corsa(cant remember the next bit) that looked unused and they where £5 each!

I've seen some alright prices at campyoldy on some NOS tub rims, not sure what they have now. I only saw them after I'd spent ages trawling eBay and eventually getting a set of campag ones for about £40

JD, would have done but I'm in malayasia at the moment, sounds like a good deal, maybe they'll be at the next one...

I've got a few pairs of cheap tubs knocking around, will sell for pin money.

Also a pair of hardly used conti sprinters which I'll be taking off my race wheels (to be replaced with pista evo cs) will be fo' sale.

rob bear me in mind for the sprinters when you get round to selling them...

^ corny I don't know if Sigma Sport still have their sale shop going but they had a few tubs they had pulled from old warehouse stock for buttons.

What you really need JC is a pair of Kinlin TB25 but I couldn't find anyone who sells them in the UK. I imported two pairs from Germany to build up into cross wheels. I've only built one pair up so far.

Another alternative is the Velocity Major Tom, available from here for £60 each.

Yay!
Corny back at the track!

^I know BLB carry the clincher Velocity A23 version of those for £43 each and do still carry alot of NOS Mavic rims of various flavours too.

tappy tap tap, I assume the sale shop is a bricks and mortar place and not online?
do you have an address? will pop in there when I return if its still going...

rob you'll see me before the track opens I'm hoping to come out on some of you and jays weekend jaunts, though I'll be at the back puffing and huffing...

Sigma Sport have moved to a new hyper mega store a few doors down from their old shop on Hampton Wick and were clearing stock in the old place before Xmas.

also after a pair of cheap tubs for training at Newport - anyone got any to sell me or sugestions for reasonably priced tubs that work well on wood?

Manchester specify Schwalbe, Continental, Tufo or Vittoria tyres - must be all-black.

In particular, Conti Tempos or Sonderklasse

                Vittoria Pista Evo Cs or CL
                Tufo S3 Pro or S3C

All 22ml (not 19 ml).

I'm guessing Newport will be similar.

I used to use Dugasts on wood tracks, but they're a tad pricy to train on.

However, you don't puncture too often on indoor tracks, so the tyres last well.

Don't forget to rough them up a bit first, and to use white vinegar or similar to get rid of the slippery top surface on new tyres. Then a few laps on the Cote D'Azur first.

I've got plenty of 36H tub rims to get rid of if you or anyone else is interested.

Got any reflexes?

Cheers, dcmone - think those might be a tad bulky though. Might just end up getting some reflexes.

@JC - These have to be worth a look? 36 hole though, don't know how flexible you are with hubs

Cheers Dov - I've stumbled across a solution already though.
