Oh. Typo- it's a CXP 30. I wish they did a CXP 33 sprint rim- I love the clinchers, imagine how light they could make a tubular version!

Conti glue is quite aromatic...

I'm surprised triathletes are so wussy that they have to leave a gap in the glue to remove the tyre- you'd think with all the swimming, they'd have the required upper body strength to rip a tub off the rim. Rolling resistance must be appalling too. They could just use whatever tub tape this one came with, then the tyre would probably remove itself pre-emptively of any punctures...
