I’ve loved using these tires over the years. I mostly buy clinchers now. It’s been harder to find good stocking options anywhere online.

So I placed an order on Monday and received my tires on Friday (I live in Ft Worth, TX). Haven’t tried these yet but the new versions look very nice.

Am stocked up on Master 25s for the moment, but will be interested to try the new ones. Tell us how they ride!

Based on the website, it looks like the Roubaix, Arenberg, Vlaanderen and Raven tubulars have been discontinued...time to hoard even more.

That Casati looks freakin' gorgeous!

Is the gum color brighter in their new tires? Looks more like turbo cottons than the classic gum of their previous versions.

If you are in the United States, World Class Cycles still looks to have all of those tubulars in stock. WCC is an excellent store, great service.

Bike Tires Direct/Western Bicycle Works both look to have only some Vlaanderen still.

Veloflex are the best, and yes that Casati is gorgeous.

What model/year is your Casati? It is sublime.

And why do you think I posted that? I know I am preaching from a lonely desert here!
(Fair Warning: I took my Ali/Frazier/Tyson/Leonard/Hearns pills this morning. And my gloves do not even have a thread of gum-color anywhere near them, ever. )

Thanks for posting.
Lordgun.com had Arenbergs for $57.
"Had" because I just got the last 2 for $132 shipped

Starbike still has a few, 2 add up to $150 with shipping.

And yes, Casatis are awesome!

yea, good stuff!

for a long while, i said road tubeless was stupid, but i have been riding tubeless on the road all year, and it works great! bought a wheelset new with tires installed and they have been dead reliable and feel good. when i wear my current conti's out, i'm definitely stepping up to a new pair of TLR veloflexes!
