FMB Open Tubulars

Just got an email that FMB open tubulars are available, this is news to me. Not cheap, but they probably are pretty sweet with some latex tubes.

They’re all CX tires on the link, btw. I was skeptical about FMB’s, but I’ve got about 2,000 miles on a set of Paris-Roubaix 27mm tubs that have been hassle free and ride oh so fine. The rear is just about worn out so I’ll replace it and stay with the brand for a while.

Bike Tires Direct had email as well. I think Western Bike Works is a sister company

Nice to read this. I've been wanting to try out their tubulars. Where did you buy them? Not always the easiest to find.

Their websites look very, very similar, I was noticing.

I ordered some cyclocross tubulars and open tubulars directly from here - https://fm-boyaux.cc/ The shipping was on the high side, but the tires got here fast! Ordered on Monday. Had them by Thursday or Friday. I was surprised at the speed considering they're coming from across the ocean.
