It pains my eye that there are so many relatively cheap and nice carbon wheelsets for sale, but because they are tubulars they seem to be "unusable" on a fixed gear bike on the road.
Anyway, that led me to thinking that it should be possible to ride on tubs on the road? I'm not a lunatic skidder, so with the right tires I guess it's possible? I'm using Durano Plus tires know and I rotate them every 9-10 months.
My friend is a bike mechanic and can glue on the tubs for cheap and better than I can.
What have I missed? Am I ready to go purchase my dream wheels and have fun on the streets or will I have to retire them to the track after a week?
