Atomicherrybomb on August 3, 2025 11:52 am Tubular wheels still have a valve stem. It’s essentially an inner tube with tread glued onto it (super layman’s explanation)
allgonetoshit on August 3, 2025 11:56 am I am guessing you are wondering if you should buy a really nice looking set of carbon wheels that is really cheap and you can’t understand why? My rule of thumb about tubulars is: Do you have a team bus, team car, team mechanics? If no, don’t buy them. If yes: ask your team mechanics and have them tell you « no, it’s 2025 ffs! »
