  • @Breso I was wondering that too, I haven't glued mine yet. Was looking at the thread pattern and was questioning which way to mount. I've seen loads of bikes where the Vittoria is on the drive side but after viewing the thread I was questioning which way to mount. The threads on the outside are going ahead while the next inner layer is pointing backwards and then the middle is lines. Surely the threads on the outside should run backward in order to help grip whilst cornering! I'm running Vittoria Corsa SC.

    @TheSadR Gitane is exquisite!

  • Pretty much what tester said about the tread, but the branding issue on tubulars is noticeable only on steep track bankings, where the the slick and not grippy printed stripe can result in loss of grip at low speed...
    But usually on road bikes Vittoria branding goes on the drive side.

  • Steep track + low speed = doing it wrong

    Unless you're a sprinter doing a track stand, and even then if you're on the sidewalls, you're doing it wrong.
