The Miche Pistard Track Wheelset uses smooth, easily maintain cup and cone bearings to help riders fly around the track. These are housed in 6061 aluminium hub bodies with steel axles for a combination of weight management and strength. The rear hub has one side fixed sprocket threading, the other side is for a single-speed freewheel. (no sprocket or freewheel included) If you're looking specifically for the track the Miche Pistard Track Wheelset is a fantastic option at an exceptional price point.
How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.
The S3 Lite is Tufo' best selling road racing tubular and features unique properties making it a great choice for racing on. High inflation pressure and minimal rolling resistance are just two factors that make this tub their most popular.
This tub is also available in three colours.
The Tufo S3 Pro is the ideal track training tyre and provides excellent traction on all types of surfaces, very high pressures for ultra low rolling resistance and good mileage
Carogna Remover is a modern solvent that will soften & gelify dried-out mastic or glues from tubular rims. Then its easier to remove this debris making for the optimal (clean) surface for installation of new Effetto tub tape.
Adhesion is guaranteed by industrial-grade acrylic glue, native to the base tape. This means that when removing the tubular (breaking its bond with the rim), the acrylic glue will stay on the tape, not on the rim. Acrylic has a good adhesion on both aluminium and carbon without any specific surface preparation.
