• Tubs do perish yes, in my experience. I had some relatively old 7o's ones on some Fiamme rims for a bit but they leaked everything-air, water, bits of old rubber and thread. Did not last more than 2 or 3 rides in the dry.
    Incidentally, will you be building this up as pure track or road/track. I have a bluemels alloy spearpoint that although a bit bent and battered is of the right era I could be persuaded to part with. This is it on my JA Holland a few months back

    This will be getting the full track treatment.
    The Fiamme Sprint rims have arrived super light. Can't tell if they have a braking surface but assume they're for track only?
    Plenty of old glue on them. Off to read the tubular rims thread to school myself on all things tubular.
