i've been searching for a solid white (or close to it) track/road tire for a few weeks now. a lot of what i have found here in the states are white with black side-walls. there seem to be a ton of solid white bmx tires on the market, but none that i can find for us folk. anyone know if the tires in the above pic are from japan? im guessing they are, as it is from the Kalavinka site. the pic gives me hope. anyone with an ID on them? thanks.

Well, that certainly does look like a solid white tire to me. For some people might be solid red X though.

Vittoria Rubino Pros? I really don't think they are, but it's the whitest tire I know of.

looks like a 'spencive track tub.

deathhare

its not a tubular cause those rims are deep vs man.


OP, email Kalavinka and ask.

Velocity makes tubular Deep V rims.

This came up a couple months ago and I dont think anyone ever figured out what they actually were

Oh snap, I beat the vet at knowing ****. I know this because my friend at the LBS rocks tub deep v's.

deathhare

no they dont. maybe youre thinking of the pro elite.

deathhare

just checked the velocity site. the pro elite isnt available in white.

i think that ad is clearly a mistake. Two reasons. It says they have no braking surface, and the pic clearly shows machined braking surfaces.
Also, the velocity site doesnt say anything about deep v tubulars. They wouldnt make them. It wouldnt make sense. Because they have the pro elite...which they say is essentially a deep v but a tubular rim.
And doesnt come in white, BTW.

i hope you read all the posts from now on before you post.

I did after my post went through. Regardless, the point I and a few other forum members were pointing out is that it very well could be a tubie after all. I was just suggesting that one should not rule out a tubular.

Im saying that deep Vs dont come in tubular, which they dont. And they only deep V-ish tubular rim that velocity makes is the pro elite..which, according to their site, doesnt come in white. Thats all im saying, im no velocity expert er nuthin'

Didn't we have this exact thread with that exact picture a few months ago? I think someone had the answer.

deathhare

I just read that Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp Folding come in all white. This site list them.

I hear ya, and stand corrected.



A pic of the color offerings from the veltec, Vreadsteins distributor's, catalog showing colors

While the tire comes in white, unfortunately not all white.

Good tires none the less.

Deep Vs come in Tubular, just because you have never seen them does not mean they do not exist. (I have seen them.)

All im going on is the Velocity site. Nothing more. Which clearly shows that Velocity making a deep V in a tubular would be 100% stupid when they have the Pro-Elite. Which they describe as "Take the Deep V and make it tubular and the result is the Pro Elite." Now why they **** would they make the Deep V a tubular when they have that? The Pro-Elite is obviously what youve seen.
They say its available in Silver, Black and Gold.
