tub's that won't break the bank

ozzy1000

hi all,
what tubular tyres can i get that are really fast and good but won't cost a bazzillion quid??? they're to go on some 50mm wheels for riding sportives/TT's and maybe trying my hand at racing.....

cheers, O

Schwalbe Milano's but they don't have an anti-puncture belt

do yourself a favour.... racing bikes isnt cheap... buy the best, vittoria corsa evo cx for about £45 and enjoy them.
cheap tubs are for training, but buy good ones for rides that count.

i would have thought 40 od quid was an ok amount of money to spend.... i only asked for peoples opinions because i've seen prices into the 60's+... this is my first set of tub's, i previosuly rode on mich pro race 3 clinchers, which i liked the fast feel of, i was hoping for the same feeling only more from tub's...

thanks, O

Conti Giros if you want cheap or Sprinters if you want a bit faster.

£43 - £47
go for the 23mm rather than 21mm

Conti Sprinter Gatorskins, you should get for around £40, light and fast enough for sportives etc. and importantly puncture resistant
