wait, they make tubular tires for mtb rims?Looks like a tubular...and possibly a carbon rim.
Yes they do and with what those rims cost, I have to assume he's getting them for free. Otherwise he'd be walking.wait, they make tubular tires for mtb rims?
Well yes, they make tubular tires for a few tubular mtb rims out there.wait, they make tubular tires for mtb rims?
that guy has balls. big balls
At first I thought that, but I think he may have flatted, and taking the tire off was faster to get to the pit than rolling around on a flat.shoulda done a better glue job
That ss what I thought at first but countries who drive on left side of the road (Aus, UK, NZL, RSA, etc) reverse their brakes. So he is feathering the rear.Still feathering the front brake!
If it's a World Cup they can just ride to one of the pits and get a new wheel.re: xc tubulars - how do they typically deal w/ flats? dnf or ride the rim like this guy?
exactly whats wrong with the current rules. Mountain bike racing by the sports very nature should be self sufficient to weed out unreliably light parts from the field....and the market.If it's a World Cup they can just ride to one of the pits and get a new wheel.

Pit stop inflator system. Sealant and Co2 all in one can, we sell them at the shop, people love them.re: xc tubulars - how do they typically deal w/ flats? dnf or ride the rim like this guy?
Your just jealous.exactly whats wrong with the current rules. Mountain bike racing by the sports very nature should be self sufficient to weed out unreliably light parts from the field....and the market.
Tubular XC wheels are light and trick. And they are a gamble, looks like homeboy came up snake eyes.
Killer shot though!
There not that much lighter than a standard setup. Better ride thoughand if glued properly, youll never pop a bead off a rim. Seriously though, its more of a lookie what I have more than anything.Weight weenie.
Rockin fingers on both levers!That ss what I thought at first but countries who drive on left side of the road (Aus, UK, NZL, RSA, etc) reverse their brakes. So he is feathering the rear.
Still badaass regardless!
I think this is the pic, but its just the rear tire.I feel like I remember ACC riding the yardsale at mount snow one year with no front tire.
I have a pair sitting on the shelf in my garage with less than a dozen runs on them....except theyre my moms shoes she tried and doesnt like:biggrin:dammit i want another pair of those Vans
best shoes ever!
except for the Hematoma. and 5.10s.
....ok, so maybe not the best shoe ever but they really did kick ass!
Someone needs to chop those squirrel nuts onto him.That guys got some nuts.
