tubulars are smoother than clinchers if thats what you're asking. they are also a pain in the ass to fix on the road.

I've been using a unique mixture of oxygen and nitrogen.

I've heard of using Pure Nitrogen in Car racing tires for Autocross - the pressure doesn't change as much with temperature which simplifies adjustments - but I've never heard of using CO2...

I fill mine with hydrogen. Blowouts are much more interesting to say the least..

You can get CO2 cartridge pumps. Their only use is quick tire inflation.

I train with dark matter and race with a particle collider, both contained within my respective wheelsets.

Wow, me to. I use 79% nitrogen and 21% Oxygen with the remainder being other secret gases that I don't won't go into. I can't reveal all my secrets :lol: .

Psst...argon is the secret. UCI doesn't test for it yet!
