Tubular belts, of course.

I am not making it up. That is literally how they describe this belt.

I never understood the inadequacy of my clincher belts until just now.
Where do I squirt the sealant in?

I'd be happy to never hear the word supple in the context of a bike tire ever again.

Yeah, but it's a real pain having to glue on your belts.

It's a lot quicker than changing a regular belt though.

Lol, quite the cast here. Never expected NMWA to pop up here.

I should note that I have neither the sartorial chops nor the budget to pull of much of what NMWA is selling these days. I do spend a bit of time on styleforum, which is how I discovered NMWA... and was perusing the sales when I found this little gem.

I have been eyeing some Rota trousers on that site. $400+.... yowsa!! :eek::eek::eek:

Why so? I'm genuinely intrigued.

When I swapped from Conti 3000s to Veloflex tyres many years ago, I believe the 's' word was the very first thing I thought of. No s**t. Sublime was the second word.

What about in the context of a belt? :beer:

If it gets a cut, can you send it to BeltAlert?
