| Theres always the discussion whether tubs or clinchers are the best, so lets finally clear it up! Place you vote on the poll and if you feel like it, put up your argument! Itll run for 2weeks so get your votes it! |
195 hits and only 28 votes. Worse turnout than for politics! |

I train on clinchers & race on Tubs I think tubs don't cost all that much more then clinchers but last longer, puncture less (no snake bites from dodgy Belgium roads) & they are much lighter if you include the rim. They also feel very nice. I always use tub tape & Ive never rolled a tub with this. Glue is messy & time consuming.
I like the idea of training on tubs with that spray glue stuff inside. I could then use all my old tubs ! I seem to remember fitting a tub to a high pressure rim but cant remember if it worked or not.

I used cheap tubs for training last year and punctured like made every other time I went out!!
I only rolled tubs in 100 degree heat the combined 30stone weight of Jon Rider and Meself rolled a tub every ride. Glued on, taped on, Shellaced on and a Bandaged shellaced motorpace wheel!!
I refer you to my previous post for my current preference. |

Are tubs cheaper in Belgium 
And/or is there a bigger choice than over here?
