I was just gifted a Major Tom wheelset - my first set of tubular wheels. I got them from a pretty intense cx racer, so they are shod with Clement PDX tires. I think the tires will work well for gravel and some moderate off-road riding, but I already have a couple pairs of clinchers that also fill that niche. So I would appreciate you keeping us posted with anything you come up with for more road-worthy tires that will fit the Major Toms. I’m pretty nervous about getting into the tubular world after spending so many decades not using them. I just really want to use these new wheels. Thanks!
