Early in my cycling career I ran sew-ups. I perfer sew-up to "tubie" because tubies are little red, yellow and purple things that roll around British tv and call thier hoover "noo noo". Sew-ups. That what you do. You sew them up. Clinchers also have tubes. So why aren't they "tubies"?
Back on topic. Early in my riding career I ran sew-ups. I did this because of Bicycle Guide. Bicycle Guide was my bible and they had an article on sew-ups so I rode them. I liked them just fine. Even repaired them myself. A quick lesson from grandma, a few Jefferson re-runs and boom! Fixed tire.
So why do I run clinchers now? Easy When my Sirrus ate it and I bought the Ironman it came with clinchers. I rode clinchers from than on out because I didn't want to buy new wheels.
Now after the last few days I will never buy sew-ups again. I refuse. For the same reasons I won't fly flish anymore, ride a single speed, run Campy, or drink coffee. Pure %100 eletism. If I am sitting on a pair of 404s and you say they aren't "racing wheels" then you are a moron. This whole thing smacks of me being told all the time at work I'm going to hell. Preachy and snobby.
I do not now nor will I ever run sew-ups now. Thanks guys. Have a fucking nice day.
