Modern tubular tires.

[Barnegatbicycles]

I just ordered a set of 700x30 tires for a set of race wheels and they are nice. Here's some 40s. The nice part is they are modern and they actually measure 40mm wide or at least close to. If you want to ride some old wood wheels I'd buy a set. Just picked up two sets for myself.

the Paris-Roubaix "seta extras" by the same maker are exceptionally nice, like a green label Clement, but 30mm.

Are these new? I ride many original wood rims on modern tubulars with excellent results....biggest I have are 700x33......never found bigger..I just ordered a set. I would love to see these mounted.....great deal for the wood rim guys.

Just found them and they were too good of a deal to pass up. Plus the benefit of knowing the actual width of the tire size is nice.

Well I got the tires in the mail today and I'll let you be the judge.

oooh....nice look....tread is cool, can't wait to get mine.....a pic of 700x33 gravel for reference....these look nicely wider.

I like that these do not have latex tubes, like most high end tubies of the past which require refilling on daily rider bikes. Latex tubed tires are not very convenient for occasional riders either as far as storage is concerned if the bike is parked on a hard surface and not hung.

Repairing these tires could be a...."challenge" though. Sealant may handle a pinhole but anything larger, not sure if the construction lends itself to surgical repairs like you can on old style sew-ups.

I wonder how the graphics and tan walls would respond to a big fat black magic marker? Let us know Matt.

They make all black and whitewall ones but they are more expensive, esp the white wall ones. These are like $130 for 2 right now.

I'm definitely not seeing those in 40mm though...or even 36mm would be nice in all black, but they don't offer it.
