<p>No problem.</p>
<p>I think the round knobs were actually pretty good in the mud because they shed the mud really well, probably better than the UFO/TUFO pattern. I think the best thing about the UFO/TUFOs when they came out was that they were available, while the other probably more desirable tires were very difficult to come by.</p>
<p>I can think of a few people who might have some good information about tires of that era (80's, 90's). First I'd try to talk to Clark Natwick and Jim…</p>

<p>I can think of a few people who might have some good information about tires of that era (80's, 90's). First I'd try to talk to Clark Natwick and Jim Langley. Perhaps Lennard Zinn. I have a few others but I haven't even been able to find them.</p>
<p>DM me and I could probably compile a longer list of people who had experience with tubular tires in the late 80's early 90's.</p>
<p>Let me know if you want better/larger images.</p>

<p>Hey Ariel, I can't thank you enough for posting these photos. Just being able to see these treads is a pretty big deal to me. I'm really, really curious as to why the tread designers chose the rounded knobs; I'm going to dig a little, but I'm not so certain I'll be able to find out why they were used.</p>
<p>I'll bet the cyclo-cross tire geeks of the early-to-mid '90s were really psyched when those UFOs came out. I'm going to try and search a little to perhaps find out more about how they…</p>

<p>I'll bet the cyclo-cross tire geeks of the early-to-mid '90s were really psyched when those UFOs came out. I'm going to try and search a little to perhaps find out more about how they chose that design, as UFO/TUFO did a great job establishing what may have manufactured a mud-specific tread pattern that has been modified and fine-tuned a few times (with great success) over the years.</p>

I'm not sure. I don't even remember where I got these (I think Veloswap in the late 90's). But if these are as old as I think, I doubt they made them as big as 32, even 30, but I that's just my guess.

<p>Dan,</p>
<p>I have a nice sampling of a few old cyclocross tubulars.</p>
<p>I've got a pair of unused Barums, with what I call the "dot" pattern, and are very narrow, I doubt wider than 27c. (previously owned by Andy Hampsten). I might be trying to sell these soon to finance new cyclocross goodness.</p>
<p>I've got a used Wolber with the same "dot" pattern, also close to 27c.</p>
<p>I'm currently commuting on a set of chevron-treaded "UFO cyclocross" that measure 27mm.. (That's right, "UFO"…</p>

<p>Not quite as old I've got a TUFO "Rhino"</p>

<p>I'll try to compile some photographic evidence when I'm home this evening.</p>
