I don't know. I'd rather pay extra for a happy ending than getting a kick in the crotch. :(

Depends on how you do the math. Don't know why anyone would use money to get 21mm clinchers, but 28mm Paselas will run you 3 for lets say $65. Plus 2 inner tubes will bring you to $70. The 3 YJ plus...

Why do people insist on claiming cheap tubulars will give a notion on how they feel?

No need to fill any holes.

But if you must, there are mini corks made specifically for the job. I think they are silly, but if it floats your boat, by all means, knock yourself out.

You won't like it if you use the YJ tires. I would recommend not using tubulars if that is your plan.

YJ tires are perfectly acceptable as a spare, nothing else.

My .02

The only downside to tubulars is price. Lower volume, higher prices.

And I used those Tufo Diamond 28s on a commuter. Tough tire and OK roll.

That seems about right for pressure. On my 27mm tubulars I run about 80 front/90 rear. But i'm 185. Those guys are 140/150.

I used the YJs for 1 season, probably 2-3K miles on that bike. Never used Conti Giro.

They were round. They weren't lumpy. As near as I could tell, there was little to no wear (first red flag)....

I rode the Criteriums for 3 seasons. Loved them. Best 23mm tire, period, atmo. Then I tried their 25mm Roubaix.

Even better.

As for the YJ 3 for $50. Worse than the Tufos. I think the...

I'm thinking those may be the valve holes. And for cleaning, if the glue isn't completely dry, it will just fill your wire brush and make it worthless. Also for "wet" glue, mineral spirits works...
