Is it possible to use this tubular for road races or is it a time trial tubular only?

It would be nice @170gr :)

Sure............Once. :wink:

That was going to be my response.. I've got two sets of them on my TT / hillclimb wheels but I wouldn't want to risk running those for a road race. Pretty light tires.

I use to use tufos elite <160grams for races all the time, never got a flat! So........ it could be luck I guess.

If its a 19mm and its weighs 170grams then its no difference build to a 23mm weighing at 200grams.

It's a 20mm actually so that makes it a little risky I suppose.

(Says the guys that's training on 200g Veloflex Records......)

So........ it could be luck I guess.


We'll keep our fingers crossed for you, Zakeen. :)

I just had my first flat riding the CS over some road debri.
It was good while it lasted, fast and light.

Switched to CX as they are just as fast and more durable. Anyway this is on my TT bike, so the little added weight is not a major concern.
