Tubs!
Need some new tubular tyres for a really nice set of xentis HM Carbon wheels.
Got two brand new gators but these probably deserve better…!?
23-24 mm so I can use them on any of my bikes.
Any recommendations, for sale or advice greatly received.

Plan x have previous for selling returns…
Not sure they could do that with tyres.
They were very very poorly packaged, BOGOF!! Ish
What tape are people using these days? I can’t be faffed with glue and I think I’ll treat my wheels to new tubs this Spring. Got tubs need tape…ta

Cheers for the heads up!!!
Been looking at the normal ones for £100/pair, but these seem a bit more palatable at £60.

They seem very narrow for 23 mm…!?
Quite a lot of rubber on the tread, side walls a little thin …?!
Nice finish

Too wide for my wheels I’m afraid.

Narrow rim…!?
I have a few sets of tubs…
28”s are going on one of them… none are particularly wide rims …?

Wide tyres on narrow rims is an aero sin.

I was waiting for that …
Comfort and grip are more important to me at this stage…
Grippiest tubs…!?
Veloflex carbons been told by two different people…!?
