NEW Velofix Servizio Corsa Tubular

[kgibbo1868]

Looks like they still can not line up the lettering in the same spot with the valve stem...... WHY.......??????? My OCD does not like this, lolzzzz

Got a pair of Service Course this morning (can't keep tan sidewalls clean for more than a few days so I quit buying them).
They measure 25mm (from side to side with a cheap vernier) at 100 PSI.

I freshly glued three wheelsets with new tubs last week (two of them with Arenbergs, so hopefully I won't ride these before late this season).
The new compound sure feels grippy. Softer and tackier than a Sprinter.

EDIT: It was pretty easy to get them in NA. I just emailed Veloflex, paid through Paypal (less VAT), free shipping DHL.
Had to pay tax/customs (for Canada/Québec) once the parcel got here though...

From the pictures it looks like the rubber tread is narrower than on other Veloflex tubs (?).
Tan sidewalls, wile ago RyanH (I think) recommended this:



It helps, recently after wet ride the sidewalls were cleaned with ease. Maybe after more vigorous cleaning it needs to be applied again, but I'm ok with this till I'm pleased with tan sidewalls. One more thing, this specific slightly but it makes the sidewalls a tad darker.

very very tempted to buy a set of these to replace a set of competition's that are starting to degrade/wear out on edco wheels that have an outside diameter of 25.5.
The veloflex ride so much nicer on my roads then the harsh comp's.

Yes, tent seal works well. These are mine after almost 2k miles:

How would you compare the Tent Sealant ( I see there is some kind of a sponge on top) to Aquaseal FD ?
I'm using Aquaseal FD on CX Tubs sidewalls, but it's pretty thick when applying.
I had to use almost 2 tubes on a pair of Limus 33's.
I wouldn't use it on road tubs.

Paah, I caved in. Couldn’t resist. Two of these puppies en route to me now. Will try them out in the Dolomites, Stelvio and Gavia pass in two weeks. Can’t wait

From what I see, maybe it's Kreutz's wheels that didn't take note of that particularity when shooting the pics. The front wheel can be easily switched as
the tub will show near the "L" on one side, and near the "E" on the other.
I have the same alignment of the VELOFLEX lettering on my Service Course:

Hoping they do a revised 27mm option soon to compliment these

How about a little review?

I also bought a pair online, very quick delivery from Italy (in fact, faster than typical local Dutch orders) and no shipping cost charged. Easy to mount, which I did today. Will report on ride quality, but feels/looks very promising.

We are still waiting

You must have missed my comment a few posts above...

Got mine today. Interesting to note that they are non directional (obviously due to new thread) and there was a printed note in the effectivley saying that there was no need to 'age' them and its best to mount them and use them.
Found that interesting.
I wasnt gonna use them until next spring but will see what events I have lined up for the late summer/autumn.
