Corima makes some 45mm CF aero rims used by Campagnolo in the Bora wheels that are actually much less money than Zipps. $255 US for each bar rim. (you have to order them directly from Corima though)
Never used tubulars, but I hear the Tufo extreme tape is the way to go.
You do know that Campagnolo makes some Aluminum Pista wheels (tubulars) that have a 38mm profile with 20/24 spoke count. Big money though.
please dont tell us what you have seen in a catalog. tell what you use and what you like, or if you have used something you want to warn us from buying.. thank you.
i seriously doubt that campy is buying rims from corima.. where did you get that?
and yes i did know all of the above. i have only ridden a corima(tubular) set though, and they are good, but my form that year did not justify the expense so i sold them after 3 races..a friend of mine rides the new mavics on the street with a front brake, even if they have no brake surface. 4 months of mess. work on them so far
