    I honestly couldn't imagine what to do in a race, if a tubular tire went down. So I stick to clinchers. But I know the debate will rage on. :)

    Here's my bike - as of today. Just did some cleanup, as I have an Olympic this Sunday.

    lol yup. In my photo above - there's 2 spare tubes in my container on the downtube. A little delay in the ride - but minimal walking.

    OK. Maybe don't walk. But don't go too fast on a bike with a tubular tire rolled on with minimal glue adhesion.
    Finish safely is what I'm really saying :)

    Good luck on that OLY

    Nice bike - I'm not a TT rider, but I always thought Kestrel made some really nice bikes. Their early carbon fiber stuff was really beautiful.

    Yeah...I'll just stick to my new clinchers. Those new wheels almost doubled the value of my ride. :D

    And thanks. I did an Olympic 2 weeks ago as well. These are just warm-ups for a Half-Ironman next month in Calgary.

    Thanks. This bike has been great so far. It's very slippery in the wind.

    My next ride will likely be a Cervelo. Maybe.

    Cervelo S3. My only road bike. (I don't do enough tri's to justify owning a dedicated Tri Bike)

    ^^^^^Very nice ride!! My next bike (likely in 2 or 3 years from now) will hopefully be a Cervelo P5. Or maybe if there's a P6 by then.

    Hopefully Itll buff out....hey I did 21 miles today!, the longest ride I've done since having to dump running and picked up the bike. Went good but I may need to look into a different saddle.

    I didn't find a gravel thread, so I decided to join this one. For the road though, I do have an '11 Specialized Allez elite with some fulcrum racing 7 rims and SRAM Force group. It has 3T stem and seat post. I also have a Motobacon(Motobecane) fantom cross pro with SRAM Rival, it also has some 3T stuff holding me up. I have a set of A23 rims and some old Dura Ace hubs that I had built up for gravel. I threw a set of Vittoria Voyager Hypers on the wide profile A23's and running it tubless makes it roll fast and smooth as butter. I ride the gravel roads the most since there are plenty in Kansas where I live. Here is a shot from the Dirty Kanza 200 on that particular bike. Anyway, just thought I would jump in and say something!

    ^^^Very nice!!

    I may have to put gravel rated wheels on my ride - if they keep "repairing" the roads around here with chip-seal. Seriously, I drove out to meet a friend for a ride today - and saw that one complete highway (that I often ride on) has been basically turned into a gravel road!!! Bastards!!

    We did ride on some great clear ones today though. Did a fun 90k, at a very solid pace.
