wolber tubular mtb rims???

I had a customer that had these BITD who wanted a spare set of tyres for these things. I asked him if he wanted some blood that was freshly squeezed from a stone as that was easier to get. :LOL:
 
they were used quite a lot in france in the early 90s and worked well .

shame they never took off .
 
Wolber

Couple of reasons they never took off-You had to carry a COMPLETE tire with you, instead of just a tube-They glued on, so if you changed it in the woods, it was usually very messy- They weren't very light-They didn't handle any better than contemporary tires of the day- AND they were Expensive. Thus that experiment didn't last very long.
