Tubulars for Clyde's? Or is that a laughable notion.
Any opinion on tubulars for Clyde's? I rode 'em years ago when I was a svelt 215 without problems. I'm working on dropping the weight from 300+ back to a more reasonable 240ish and was considering building up a set... or resurrecting an old set. I always used 36 hole for everything anyway, but I am seriously wondering about riding them once I drop another 20 pounds and get down to about 260. I've been out of the game for a good 25 years, but I have no doubt that I could easily build the wheels. It's just a question of whether there's an alloy tubular rim that's strong enough for a pachyderm....
