Just got my nice new white rubinos through the post only to find that my wheels are tubs!

So...

Trade:

1) White Vittoria Rubinos for similar quality tubs + glue/tape or enough £s to buy glue/tape

or

2) Campagnolo omega 19 tubular road wheelset
- 36 hole front and rear
- campag record hubs
- QR
- 7 speed
for a similar wheelset with clinchers

I don't think you realize how expensive tubs are, or how hard they are to replace.

How did you not know you had tubs?

well some of them seem as cheap as regular tires... but I admit they're obviously a bitch to replace.

^^ bc I took them off another bike and didn't realise omega 19's came in tubs.... google says they don't.

Yeah, I don't know what we charge to change them, but in the states it's $55 big ones. Per tyre.

To remove them do I just pull hard? - they're taped not glued (another reason I didn't realise)

... now I've calmed down a bit, I'm thinking I can sell the rubinos, buy new tubs for now, rebuild these wheels when I've got the cash.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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