Hi Folks,
I bought the German magazine article regarding tubular tires. Anybody want to transpose it for me? I can get the gist of the table data, which does confirm the worst about Tufos. I am insterested what the article says about glue and if it mentions how these rolling resistance figures compares to clinchers. Anyway, first person to e-mail me at ericlambi@gmail.com who can actually read German gets a pdf of the article.
Thanks,
Eric
I was in Germany until I was about 10 and have read the article. It does not address the type of glue used or comparisons to clinchers. Here are the key words you need to know in the article:
Rollwiderstand - rolling resistance
Gewicht - weight
Pannensicherheit - flat resistance
Karkassenlagen - # plies (side/running surface)
Echte Breite - actual (true) width
BTW, it says the watts measurement was at 30kmh with a weight of 85kg. It also says the Tufos are nice and round and don’t lose much air. Yippee!
