tubular tyres. Remember those? Yeah well I use them because some wheels I bought ages ago and like a lot still require them and they’re not changing their minds.
I searched the forum and found a post several years old regards use of worn, otherwise fine, tubular tyres and a suggestion that, and I quote “maybe there’s someone who can retread them?” With time, patience and the right bonding cement I see the one crucial thing missing would be the tread strip in order to undertake the procedure myself. Can a tread be purchased anywhere on it’s own? Has anyone done it or someone who does or is there so much red tape surrounding products nowadays that would make the sale of such a thing ripe for litigation because some guy with Pringle dust still on his fingers simply rubbed the tyre on his been and beer stained vest before trying to stick the tread on himself, sticks it on upsidedown then suing after sliding into a hedge on the local 13mph club ride?
