i've got my 38mm Edge tubulars. looking for something lower profile and cheaper. on my consideration list right now:
DT Mon Chasserals
DT 240 hubs built to RR1.1s (white hubs, black rims, Competition spokes)
DT 240 hubs built to Velocity Escapes (tubular)
D/A 7850SLs
Fulcrum Racing 1s
These are all basically within $100 for me.
Debating, really, between tubeless and tubular. For me, tubies are proven. I love how my Edge wheels ride and I have no worries taking 90* turns at 20mph+.
The tubeless thing bugs me, though. I have guys racing crits on tubeless conversions (R-Sys and Ksyriums with Fusion Tubeless) and they all love it. But the idea of blowing a tire on a turn scares me. Is this justified? I realize I could just as easily roll off a tubie, but that doesn't bug me.
Tubeless tire selection is nill now, other than the Fusions, but I expect it to increase in 2009.
Recommendations or thoughts?
