Apparently tubs lose weight as they age and harden somewhat.
I don't ride tubulars but I'm entirely intrigued by this, as it's the first time I've heard of such a thing.
So you're saying (or others are stating) that tubulars which have not been ridden at all, remain unchanged in glue remnants or lack thereof, but are being "aged" lose mass? WOW!
Is this real, measured? Or is someone just stating the feeling of it being lighter and harder?
I mean, the only things that, conceptually, lose mass on their own are liquids and radioactive materials. Liquids change to different forms (is, gasses) over time yet would still have the same mass if, theoretically, all of that converted gas can be contained in the same volume of the original liquid (at which point, probably, the gas would become a liquid again due to pressure).
Radioactive materials lose mass through various means (usually atoms actually splitting off and leaving)
