Tubulars: Prep. / Old trends in technology

[Too Tall]

Yes Virginia they file tubulars in Maryland ***?
These are some NOS Vittoria CX from Bugsplatbuddah bob. Beats me how old they are. Condition was aces so it's time to set these puppies up for training races in a few weeks These Vittorias have a solid laytex layer over the basetape that needs removal. "Removal" involves filing and getting off most of it. You don't have to go nuts just break it up. I spent about 3 mins. on each tyre. You can see from the photos how much laytex is removed esp. over the serial number is evident. Once they are filed glue soaks easily into the cotton base tape. Not all tubulars have laytex over the basetape.
