I love tubulars, way better than clinchers. Once you ride tubies you'll never go back.

can we start a how-to discussion for things like backward circles and such? i remember struggling with track stands until reading about the right technique so maybe that will help people with other stuff as well..

the ride is definitely better, not arguing that.

But I have run over several nails/thorns/etc that have put holes in tubulars and this has made me catch rides/bus home 15 miles away when I would go for long rides.

It's not as easy to change a tubular on the side of the street as it is a clincher/tube

I don't like dem clipz BTW please note, my TUBULAR TIRE did NOT POP even though the rip snapped brutally. To all those who think you "have to be careful" with tubies take a look at that.

there is only one thing to know....practice

lol jk. but on a serious note, there is nothing better than going out for a ride and just "trying" things.

yea there are some pointers but they don't beat doing it.

doesn't it say the year on concepts?

edit: i guess they stoppedputting the year in 07. apparently the welds are "cleaner" on the 08s and people noticed that the 08s may have a pearl to the paint...

that's all i can come up with. they are probably identical. if both 07 and 08 were nos...i doubt it would be any noticeable difference
