Thoughts on best overall tubular tyres - weight, CRR, durability, puncture resistance?
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2016 6:15 pm
Just wondering if there's any consensus among those WWs who still use tubulars, about which tubulars are the go-to model/brand for racing and for more general riding. I'm not talking about track tubulars, which presumably have light weight and speed as their raison d'etre, but for road riding...
I can't find any reliable CRR info on the latest generations of tubulars from the big players like Vittoria/Schwalbe/Michelin/Continental etc, so wondering if any real and significant improvements since the 2010 test results I have found... If I've just not found the right threads for any of this, please enlighten me!
I'd like to know what would be recommended for a do-or-die TT/Triathlon (light, fast, pray no puncture!) and how the choice would differ for a long day in the mountains (racing or riding a sportive). As before, especially with regard to the latest generation of tubulars and the claims being made for them being the "fastest ever"...
