For Sale: Vittoria Rubino Pro Folding Tyre White/White 700x23

****** gone **** **

Ur gonna put tubs on the carlton?! Did you get some new wheels then - lessave alook! :)

No, just a massive school boy error. The omega 19's that are on the carlton have turned out to be tubs!

Those tires are nackered so I'll just put tubs on for now, then rebuild with silver pen pros when I've got the money and I guess free-cycle the omegas on here.

The only good thing is I think the tubs will be gum walled which is a better look I think.

thumbs up to that. i just got the continental giro tubs, 14 quid and way better than the vittoria rally for the same money..

^ Thanks, worth noting. Called condor and they said michelin... or maybe it was conti's? Not sure.

Were the continental giro tubs online or LBS? - also how have they stood up to LDN roads?

these are white? all the way? white as white can be? as white as a KKK wizard covered in talcum powder?

Are you joking!!

Have you ever actually ridden tubs? Conti Giros are without question the single worst tubular tyre ever to be in production. The have zero redeeming features!

I would not use Conti Giro's if they where free and I was paid to use them!

Get some vittoria rallys they are infinity better!

NO. They are white with the little black line where the dirt from the road is going to go, so you won't even notice...

... the more I look at them the more gutted I am.

Is this a serious comment? Why are they that bad?

I have a (very slightly) similar situation.

I have some shamal tub wheels and some atlanta 96 clinchers for my road bike. The shamal's look nice, but I can run my white rubinos on the atlantas, which might swing it.

Is this a serious comment? Why are they that bad?

Very much serious.

Giros are nasty molded plastic rubbish, atleast 1 step down from very bad clinchers. Rallys are proper constructed tubular tires, that feel like tubs to ride, grip well and have good puncture protection.

Oh, the guy I called at Condor said Giros over Vittoria's... and the Vittoria's cost more!?

The buy them at decathlon, they are £9.99

The guy at Condor must be a numpty then. I was given a Giro Continental once and I literally couldn't give it away, everyone I know who rides tubs turned it down. They are shit.

fuck... I guess its a good job I didn't just cycle down to Condor and picked some up over the Vittoria's on his say so, isn't it?

Edit: that's exactly what I just did, so I guess its time to go back.... thank God I spend my time on here instead of getting on and doing things, otherwise they'd be fitted by now.

Never trust people in shops :-)

You: What is the best XYZ
Shop: Let me just check with Bob [Puts you on hold] 'Bob, what XYZ have we over stocked on and need to shift' [comes off hold] yes, sir, you want this, it is by far the very best XYZ ever and we just happen to have plenty in stock

... But they were the last ones on the shelf... surely that must mean they're super popular?

Basicaly today has taught me that I am retarded.

On the bright side, now I know this I should be able to cope better with what life has to throw at me.

Also... can somebody please buy these off me, I am willing to p/x for a hand job.

Easy dude, yeah i been on rally's for 2months now and like em

i bought 2 rally's a bit over a month ago, they do ride well yes for the price, however both tyres have had the white cloth gluing bit come away from the tyre....

nice....

the giro is cheap yeah but like it's profile while sat on the rim and does what it is meant too, when i have the cash i will most certainly step up to some decent set of velo's or the like...

i'm glad you feel so strongly about this though.... i love the tubs and want to get some good uns..

i did in fact go back to buy vittoria's but think condor, as mentioned elsewhere may have had a bad batch so steared me elsewhere..

gave em a go, no issues as yet...

NO. They are white with the little black line where the dirt from the road is going to go, so you won't even notice...

hahahaha.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

How long have those been on there????

mother fuckers.... I looked all over for those, took a gamble on wiggles white/white bc they were a nice price... that was ages ago... probably last April in fact!

And now they've finaly delivered them there are these on ebay FFS!

... anyway, @ KINGCUTTER pls delete your thread as it is prob undermining my sale.

... someone else can you buy the ones in KINGCUTTER's post and hold them for me for about 4 months while I try and save up for new wheels... many thanks.

edit: I think I over reacted - KINGCUTTER's link is to Zaffiro's, which we all know are shit as they only pump up to 14psi.

Bump - price drop to £32.50

Thats £2.62 saving on the Wiggle price... and delivered (if in Central London) and will post if not.
