Jerry. Jerry. We all know you love to be a contrarian. (you having a slow night or something?)

But this is just perverse. Tufos cannot even be discussed in the same league with top-quality tubulars for ride-quality. You wanna ride Tufos, go right ahead. Leaves that many more vintage Clement silks for moi.

But don't get the idea that somehow the gluing of good tires is so unreliable, or a hassle, that the better choice is Tufos. That's only the case if one is too lazy, or too indiscriminate, to use the better product.
