I have never owned a set of tubs in 30+ years of cycling. My son had a planet-x track bike for Christmas/birthday and the only option on the build was tubs.
The bike was delivered early December and I noticed that there was a very large sideways wobble in the front and back tub. Planet-x customer service were helpful and I sent them back for them to have a look at. They agreed that they had been poorly fitted and refitted them. They called me to say they were much better but there is still a small bump where the valve is, they said this is normal for tubs.
We have just set the bike up after the Christmas chaos and stuck it on the rollers. The bump is quite noticeable when riding the rollers (I imagine it will be the same on the track).
Is this normal for tubs? They are Vittoria pista cs tubs.
