Can anyone advise please, at 65 my competitive riding days are over i just want a leisurely ride now but the roads around here in the mountains of south west France are very gritty and sometimes we are made to use cycle tracks which is basicaly red ash, no big deal except i am using tubs, my old bike a Jacques Esclasson has sprint rims and i am going through tyres at a rate of knots now i know cycling is a religion here but i cant get any shop to fit clincher rims only sell new wheels and as its all Shimano 600 Arabesque i would like to keep it as near standard as possible do i get a new bike more suitable, have the rims done in the uk as i am going over in September or will Tufo tyres do the job

I am sick to death of tubs cant keep them on the bike one ride and they have a puncture the roads are very course here bits of granit and flints local bike shop is making a mint out of me
