colker pal, now I know what your weakness is....if I ever want to get any secret out of you, I will put you in an interrogation room with a bike on a trainer...with clincher wheels...and make you to ride on it until you give in.

Meanwhile Campy shut the nucleons and tubular shammals.

Great wheels. I rode that combination for 10-11 years but when the spoke holes *finally* developed little cracks (still perfectly true btw) I felt the freedom to switch to something wider and easy to mount. Glorious.

Glad I didn't give up on these. After leaving them mounted for a week they are still tight on the Neutrons, but they went on by hand on a set older Eurus wheels and the ride is mighty nice..

I've found the older vittorias and Challenge open tubulars to be a pain to get on, but once stretched are quite nice.

I haven't had any issues with getting the newer Vittoria Corsa Graphenes onto even wide rims though. It seems like they fixed the tightness issue

Good to hear. I've got some tan sidewalks 25c Graphenes ready to go for my HED C2 wheelset...
