Blew a tire on my planet x 101, the only tubulars in my area in stock are these vittoria 23-28. What was on the wheel was a vittoria 20-28… Before I get to glue, will these 23-28 be fine? Race is this weekend.
Time is of the essence here. The sooner you start glueing a new tire, the better. Just get the available tubular, do one layer of glue today, one layer tomorrow AM and at night you can mount the tire.

Thanks paulo, I’m definitely in a but of a panic mode. I have the tire and glue on my lap ready to go. So the fact its a 23-28 is ok? (sorry if that’s a stupid question, I’m new to tubulars)
Planet X 101’s are narrow rims - the 23s would work, but I think a 19-21mm would be better…
Yes. Just get it glued right.
+1 on this and on paulo’s advice.
Thanks guys. I wish I had more options. Its been a terrible week leading into an event, this eased my mind a bit.
