[MENTION=353902]Steve Whitlatch[/MENTION] This is a C&V forum which implies that we enjoy ALL things C&V including tubulars or what some of us have grown up with, sew-ups. It is a C&V thing that you gain appreciation for over time only with expereince. You may not be ready. That is okay. The devil is in the details now matter what you do. Once you get use to doing it, it is second nature and it is a personal ROI decision.
All I can say is that I grew up believing the racers new what the best was and that became my standard. Today it is heavily modified but I enjoy touching the past with present available capability including running tubulars which I think are still superior to clinchers. Not all agree and that is okay too!
