The Rally's were uber cheap as were the Giro's. I didnt want to drop much coin on tires when I was first trying out tubulars. Was not sure I was gonna like them. I got the Mavic wheelset for really really cheap as well. Didnt know how to mount them or anything so I just went cheap for my first time. I like the feel of tubulars and will continue to ride them now.

I might relace the Mavic rim to a better hub later on but for now they are working out just fine.

Since we are on the subject, what do you recommend I do when changing tires? Do I clean off all the old glue? Leave it on and just paint on new glue? What should I use to clean the old glue off if thats the recommendation?
