Yeah, those are tubulars. They are Vittoria Competition Rally. They say 23, but measure closer to 24mm. I'm interested in trying the Vittoria Pave model which goes all the way to 27mm, but at $100 apiece, I might wait a bit. On Apr 27, 8:35 pm, Aaron Thomas wrote: > Are these the tubulars? If

Hi again , to be honest, I wasn't sure of what the pressure would be in these tires before I bought them. I also got the big Schwalbe tubes for 28x2.0 tires...so they are huge underneath the tire. The tire has 30-70ps printed on it, and at 40psi it's pretty firm. I like having just a bit of squish

Good looking bike, you're lucky to have one of the green Sams (not that the orange is so bad!). As someone who's new to fatter tires and lower pressures, the combination of 50s and 38psi seems strange to me. Do you notice much of a change in rolling resistance between those and your last tires?
