Value priced tubular tires?

For an econo tire, you can't beat the Yellow Jersey tires. I think they have a nice supple ride -- much better than most high-end clinchers. I've put on about 800 miles on my fixed gear. I've only sufferred one flat due to a sharp metal object that I ran over in front the metal recycling center.

I was happy with yellow Jersey 3 for 50 tubies.

I messengers on them in 2005 to 2006 and still have them on the Level njs wheeelset.

So you're gonna spend the time to glue on a pair of $20 tires on your nice tubular wheels? How much time did you spend cleaning off the old glue? I've tried all the cheap tires and have been disappointed by them all! With all the time and money I spend on the bike and wheels, I'm not going cheap on the tires.

That’s funny, mine are on my fixed gear too
Agree they ride great, and are straight and .. well nothing bad to say

Sure, but I have maybe 8 wheelsets shod in tubies. With all the money I have in bikes, I can't go for $200/bike in tires. Of course I should have fewer bikes and ride each more, but whatever.

If your frame can handle them may be worth a try.....

They have some great deals going for a bulk buy, even on Veloflex. Shipping is high right now though.

Interesting...been looking for a "wider" tubular and this seems to fit the bill.

$120 US for 4 including shipping comes up to about $30 per tire...not that bad.

Anyone tried these before?

I'm thinking of trying the Yellow Jersey tubulars but wondering if there are other tires to also look at in 2022 or 2023

+1…if your frame allows, get the Raven 28mm tubs while you can.
