Thinking of going tubular and just wanted to see what people's thoughts were on them...
Are they that much more puncture resistant?
Is the valve core removable? I know Vittoria tubs haven't been in the past.
Are they worth the $$$?

as with all punctures, its a certain amount of luck...a rider out on my club run had a G+ one blow out through the sidewall the other day. Maybe just a feak occurence but 2 riders i know have had a few puctures on the clincher versions (not pinch flats) so i think the answer is that it doesnt really protect a significant amount more to justify the claims. . Ive always found vittoria valve cores quite reliable , i ran vittoria olypionico with a plastic extension and the core in its original position left open. That tub must be around 10-15 years old and i hardly ever had to pump it up and was finally retired due to perishing tread.

morning, thanks for replying.

Do you know if the valve core is removable so that you can add sealant? I haven't heard good things about Vittoria's pitstop..

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
