With glue and delivery the FMBs where simply too expensive.
Having ridden Paves, Masters, and Records, in 'open tubulars' and loved them all. It kinda had to be veloflex.
I've ordered a Veloflex Extreme (22mm, 350tpi, 225g) for the front, and a Veloflex Carbon (22mm, 320tpi, 250g) for the rear. I'd quite happily run extremes front and back around here. But I figured a slightly thicker tread on the back wasnt to be sniffed at.
I also ordered some Conti Carbon rim glue. Which is probably a poor chioce for a tub virgin. But the extra heat resistance was a deal breaker (cant believe its needed. But it cant hurt).
Cheers folks, for the input in this thread.
