My biggest problem with tubulars is that I've had persistent problems with the base tape peeling away at the sides of the tube after they are installed.
This has happened on a couple of brand new Vittoria Rally tubulars.
Does anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong that might be causing this?
Is it down to bad installation technique, excessive braking, road conditions,
badly made tubulars, or what?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions because apart from this problem, I have grown to quite like tubulars. They are a bit more comfortable than clinchers, I've not had major problems with punctures, and they look good (apart from the peeling base tape :x)
