i have a call for advice. got my new ride yesterday, sorted out a problem i had with the lockring today, got home. and FUUUUU puncture already.
I mainly intended on using it on the track only, but i didn't realise the tubs would be quite as dramatic as they are, i do want to ride it on the road sometimes.
so, my dilema is, do i
A.) un build and re build the wheels with clinchers (i really like the dura ace hubs) bearing in mind when i say un-build and re-build, i mean il need to find someone who can do it!
or B.) sell the entire wheelset and try and get a new set of wheels that are appropriate for the bikes era?
I've spunked all my money on it already so i'm on a tight budget and for now can't even afford a new tub to get it riding again - was rather hoping this wouldn't be a project at all, but now it is. arg.
