  • When mounting a tire to a New Zipp rim, is it advisable to clean the rim with a cleaner such as acetone or benzine?

  • its an 10minute video. i spent 11/2hrs watching it. LOL x i learnt more about tyres ! WAY! :D xx thank you soo much. now i don't feel like such an idiot in the bike store x

  • What a helpful, informative video. Thank you for posting this.

  • Mounting a set of tires takes four days !!! *&%$#@.Tubulars must ride like magic for them to be worth all of this time and effort.I saw a pro race on Versus showing the sprinters coming around a corner at speed towards the line and all of a sudden one of the riders crashes and takes 5-6 riders down with him.I replayed in slo-mo with my DVR and clearly saw the tubular roll off of the rim.I've never ridden a tubular and probably wouldn't buy tubular wheels because of the mounting, cost & saftey

  • pre-stretch?!? either it's stretched or it's not.

  • Dang kinda makes me not wanna get tubs :(

  • Can you re-use the same Tubular new after it's been glued

  • ha ha I cant do this if I get a flat during a ride.

  • @ericpmoss I wish I understood the science behind it, but I only had to see the proof to be convinced;) Kind of like higher tire pressures were always thought to be 'faster' when in fact they are not. I ran my Conti Comps all the way to the 180psi max for years just b/c I could! Now I run my 23mm's at 110 and weigh 180 lbs. Email zipp and they can shoot you the tech docs on 'crr' and tire pressures.
