There are a number of threads on here about this. Most guys try to reglue with tubular glue. I'm sure if you search through the archives here you'll find a few threads from last season and what guys did to solve this problem.

It was a cx-20. I wanted the alloy steertube and this fit the bill. I'm pretty sure they are still producing these forks. They still have them listed on their website . I can look into getting one if you really want to pursue that. I can also see…

I have to say that we've found the "online only" approach doesn't work. Maybe its because we're a mix of service and parts, but we've always found that people still prefer the LBS over the online locations. It might also be what our consumer demogra…

Yeah, only Stu can get it here. I've called around to a plethora of tape distributors in the US (even sent samples) and they couldn't match it. If you're really looking for the tape, you have to get it from Stu at CXWorld.com

We actually had really good luck with using the Tufo tape, though honestly the "Belgian" tape that Stu imports works better. When installing the Tufo tape its all about the timing of the first app of glue to the tape application. If you can get the…

Yes. The biggest risk is that you have to be very careful when removing the tires from the carbon wheel. We've had customers who have tried to remove a tire we installed and they ended up pulling the carbon off the tire-well.

We put in the Stan's recommendation of 2-4oz. It this small bottle, basically. In the shop we use a large syringe to inject it and refill from the 32oz bottles. Its enough to be effective while not completely weighing down the tire.

Hmm. Augusta in New Jersey I've won a few times, but I still like Chainbiter and Gloucester.

Those Ridleys sure are nice...

I do not have any race experience, might kinda sound silly but I have only done a couple of weekly practices with the local hometown club, before I came to Iraq. Some how by doing two weekly practices, and riding by my self I got addicted and want to race. Kind of poserish. I just order a Rock Lobster Team Scandium frame w/ a alpha-q fork. I have been training for the last 6 months, and am going to work hard through winter and summer. I want to try to get to CAT 2 if I can next session I know its a big goal. My budget is $700.00 for a wheelset.

Hey, I went to your site. I was wondering what would be the best tubular wheelset for racing?

Why did you switch?

Hey Hey. I've been thinking along the same lines for Nationals. We actually raced at the venue a couple weeks back, so I got to scope it out. There will be some logistical challenges, but best thing would be to get there early, setup, and leave it. I'll mail you some more details.
