Tubeless is another thing altogether. Only basic tubed tyre & caliper brakes setup on my aluminium ride. Cheap, sturdy and easy tyre changes.LYN Cycling V9, Racing/Road bikes- Ironman Malaysia 2014

ok..just bought 2 vittoria corsa cx open clincher 700x25..the closest feeling to tubular tyres on clincher as the marketing says. so i'll give it a try..also bought 2 vittoria latex tubes (freaking expensive tubes i must say!)
anyway i got comments from my friend who uses 650cc tyres and said it is much faster compare to 700cc...is that true or only psychological effect? ;P |

650c outlawed? not allowed in competition or the theory that it's faster is debunked?
and about the veloflex and vittoria, practically the same tyres right? |

nope... one made in italy.. one made in thailand as far as i know... do you trust the italians or the thais?
i remember it's not allowed in the form of 650 front and 700 rear lar... a full 650c bike is allowed to compete as some female riders does compete in those bike due to sizing issues... but, it's not a consideration for your cos of the technical problem of using a 650c on your frame... you tokin bout full 650 or 650 front first? |

i see..yup 650cc both front n rear. not going to try different size...700x25mm is good enough already. items still in cart at wiggle. not paid yet..still can change mind to veloflex but expensive..maybe try vittoria first. looks cun also
