As advancements have been made to the materials that comprise our Corsa tubular and Open Corsa clinchers (especially in the rubber compounds and puncture resistant belts) it is really of no benefit to age a tubular any longer.

Definitely this doesn’t work nowadays due to the new production technologies. Sorry for not going into the details.

so you're saying that I've waited long enough to use the Vittoria Giro D'Italia tubies that came with my 1974 Raleigh International?
They still hold air, amazingly!
They've spent most of their existence in dark places, and never been glued.
I got the bike in 2000, and the bike had been boxed up before that. I suppose if I was going to try riding them, that would have been the time.
