I disagree with SoreFeet based on my own personal (and very good) experience with Yellow Jersey's cheap tubulars. My
Servizio Corse sew-ups were neither "lumpy" nor difficult to mount - but then again I've been riding sew-ups since 1974 so maybe experience/riding style counts for something? Anyway I've put 1000+ miles on less-than-ideal south Louisiana roads on mine. Rear tire tread is worn and I'll probably need to switch to my spare soon.
Good luck, you've been
informed. YMMV.
