I suspect the change over from tubular to tubeless might be something to do with the glue having a negative reaction with the carbon . Tubulars Rule. !

I'm now running tubulars on one bike purely as a set of 2nd hand good quality carbon rim brake wheels for tubulars is really cheap compared to getting the same quality of wheel any other way (Fast Forward brand wheels for under £250). They came with 23mm tyres and I have just put 28mm tyres on for comfortable day rides. I will stock up on rim tape and spare tyres in the near future. p.s. if you go in this direction, get carbon specific rim brake pads like swiss stop yellow and you will have really good braking despite the naysayers.

Thanks mate, I don't care about tubular but this is just great content!! made the switch from clinchers to tubeless on my road and tri bike lately and I agree with what you said and would add if your bike shop is supportive it will definitely help

So the next video should be on 1) Tubeless Tubular which is made for using sealant and 2) the fact that tubular is still popular with cyclocross due to the ability to run lower pressures. So perhaps you should research the crossover from cyclocross to Gravel riding and does tubular work for gravel? That is where I am at...purchased a used CX bike with Cole tubulars...just because ( I do not currently race CX)...I want to get into gravel and searching for tire and wheel options. Oh...tubular tape is Da Bomb...super easy...takes 15 minutes vs 3 days.

Appreciate the feedback bru! Gravel/CX isn't an area I would say have a considerable amount of experience in so I would definitely have to do a bunch of research before making a video about it. But maybe sometime in the future I'll be able to make it happen!

@@morelegendaryproductions Thanks for reply...really more interested in comments about Tubeless Tubular. I think it can bring tubular close to tubeless/clincher in-ride repair status. When I get my knee repaired (surgery in a few days) I will probably go down this path.

@@morelegendaryproductions Challenge tires has Gravel Tubeless Tubular models but not Cross or Road, Tufo tubulars I think are all tubeless, and DuGast-Vittoria are moving that direction with the first coming out in early summer. Looks like the Donnelly Cross tubulars are tubeless.

I just bought tubular wheels not fully realizing how they work. They were considerably less that clinchers which I couldn’t really afford. So now I’m stuck with them lol and want to give them a try. The tape seeks way less hassle than glueing. But I real a lot of negative things about rapidly being not safe. Do you think this is true? Also with taping the tires vs glueing, when you get a puncture on the road do you just carry a spare tire and some tape in your jersey as opposed to a pre-glued tire? Thanks for the awesome content dude.

That's exactly how I ended up with my sets of tubular wheels lol. In terms of safety, I have used both traditional glue & glue tape; I haven't noticed any difference in adhering quailty between the two. This includes racing multiple TTs/Triathlons and thousands of miles on a road bike in a hilly area of the US. As long as you stick with Tufo tape and follow their directions or my video on it you will be plenty safe. Personally, I run some tubeless sealant in my tires and don't carry a spare. I don't mind the risk lol. I do think carrying the tape seperate is a solid idea though, just ride slow because it normally takes 24 hrs for it to adhere fully to the rim.

I’m back with another question lol. I am just trying to pick up some tape and I see that the Tufo is 22mm wide. I just ordered some 26mm Continental sprinters on eBay and wanna make sure I am getting the right tape for them and they are properly secured on. Would the Tufo 22 do the job or should I get something wider? Also if you have any recommendations for tape definitely let me know what you prefer. Thanks again!!
@morelegendaryproductions 2 ай бұрын
@@thru_and_thru So, when choosing the tape it's about the internal width of your rim, not the width of the tire. I guarantee, if it's a road wheel, that 22mm will be the right size. Most modern wheels run around 20-23mm internal width so the 22mm tape is going to typically fit all of them. Also, Tufo is really the only brand I trust. Check out my video about how to glue a tubular tire, all this information and more is in there!

pirelli just released their P Zero race tub SL....2 years in development and they claim the largest percentage of the pro peleton use tubulars.....as long as iv been using them iv never had a flat.....thankfully.... many 50-70 mile rides on rough chip seal pavement ....and tape is the only way to go....plus the wheels are much lighter.....my 5 year old rovals weigh in at just over 1200 grams with freehub
@morelegendaryproductions 2 ай бұрын
Oh nice! Didn't know Pirelli was still releasing new tub tires. Will have to take a look into it and see. But yeah like I said in the video, it's a good system for now so long as companies keep producing the auxillaries for it(glue tape, all price tier tires, etc..)
@veganpotterthevegan 2 ай бұрын
Tape hurts rolling resistance. And 1200g isn't that light for tubulars. I have a 25mm internally rimmed disc wheelset that's 1200g. I've had tubular wheelsets under 1000g. Some are under 800g

wow thats intresting .....that light for a 50mm deep wheel ?

Just a bunch of boomers riding tubulars these days, simply because they are stubborn and refuse to accept the facts that clinchers might have always been faster just not lighter.
