When blogg legend and CX King Öijer drops by this little page to make a comment, I know that I have said something controversial. No, I didn't diss Falun. I dissed tubulars. I had already come to the right conclusion after sleeping on it last night. One could say that I dreamt of my first ride on CX tubulars and about how smooth and fast it felt. Giving up that would be silly.

So I took Tufo's advice and ordered a set of Vittoria Cross Evo XM. At 390g and 320tpi, those babies should fly through the mud. And to cut costs and speed up delivery, I ordered from England.

I will also use the Belgian gluing method with glue and the Jantex Competition 76 tape which they also sold at that shop. Now all I need is a bucket of Vittoria Mastik. Does any local shop have it like NOW?

But I still wonder about this pressure issue. Öijer suggests 2 bar. Jonas L suggests 1.4-1.7 bar which sounds very extreme. I am 72 kg so I think I should stay about 2 bar. What do you use? Skriv gärna...unless this is top secret info or something.
