Ive tried to hunt down some info on tubular tires vs. clinchers. Able to get some good info
but not a specific answer. And thats why Im here.
I have a 1970s Fuji Ace 56cm with tubulars that must deal with NYC roads. not good.
The bike rides amazing so it could be worth it to me to switch to clinchers.
At the same time I realized there is probably more than one person (ie. old school
Fuji lover) that might like to buy the bike with the original tubular tires etc.
Thoughts/advice? On either getting this Fuji Ace with dura ace and tubulars into the hands
of someone who would love it or how I can switch out the current rims/wheels etc. I have been able to find another Fuji Ace as well as a 70s Fuji Tiara so I could deal with selling this Fuji Ace to a good home.
(Note: I acquired a rear clincher type rim but it would not fit the Fuji Ace width wise because
its cassette was much wider. Today I began the process of switching out the cassettes. Stopped
before I opened up the Suntour superbed hub on the back wheel of the Fuji because I realized I needed more help) Pardon my lack of command on the specific terminology. Thanks in advance
