Apples and oranges. Getting into the weeds here but I repair punctured tubulars if they have tread left.

<edited my original post down significantly>
- Lots of good deals on CF tubulars. people aren’t as attracted to them, leaving some sweet bargains to those who like ‘em. :-) - I’ve had less flat down-time with my tubulars...and it’s not really due to less pinch flats (pinch flats haven’t really been an issue for me regardless of tire). I just get less flats. - I’m not happy about Vitoria Corsa Elites being discontinued. Such a great ride for the price. I was getting them for $45 from Ribble. Still on the hunt for tubulars with equal price/performance ratio. That said I LOVE LOVE the 27mm Zipp Tangente Speed SL tubbies I’m on now. So fast, and the ride is amazingly supple. Happy Easter!

Jeff N, you won't be able to color coordinate tubulars to water bottles. However, a recent survey showed that 96% of riders who regularly roll with frame pumps, ride tubulars. Caveat emptor correlation is not causation.

let's not let the secret too far out, but right now, rim brake tubular wheels are some of the best deals in cycling. you can have a VERY nice set of wheels for very little money. between the disc brake craze and the fact that most people are a little scared of tubies, now is the time to buy!

Agree with the above. I have recently acquired 2 very nice sets of carbon tubular wheels, at hard to resist prices, after having not ridden tubulars in a number of years. I have forgotten what a joy tubular tires are, even the process of gluing them up. Get them now before the pendulum swings yet again!

Didn't mean to throw Ryun's tubulars in this, but they were priced good. So...is it the Racing 0's or holding out for Bora 35's. Curious...

What is the closest counterpart in the Fulcrum line to the Bora Ultra 35?

Fulcrum Speed 40C or 40T. Amazing wheels.

Which ones are those? I've seen the Fulcrum Zero Carbons and quality is over-the-top.

Quattro's..?? If so, I had a set that I sold to my riding friend so I could get the Racing0's. I like the Fulcrum carbons as they fill certain gaps in the Campy line with the same quality.
