the thing is, life is for experiencing, observation is for learning and then trying. Wheels and tires are the best upgrade you can make to a frame. A good tubular wheelset and tire is lighter, can improve your handling, accelleration and road feel. There is a reason the boys race the tour on them. So what if tubies are a little more hassle, the ride is the best...and that is the reason we ride isn't it?
