now some tubulars do not have removable cores, the vittoria rallye is the only one i have seen tho. this threaded section is not flattened on either side and its the same brassy color as the rest of the stem.
Yeah, my TUFO tubulars have a removable core that is the entire stem so that is what I was looking for, I didn't know that the core could be removed too. When I get home, I am going to check this out, thanks!
