I've lost my mind. Or that's at least what the wifeage said to me when I said I needed tubular wheels for my cross bike. I've been having issues with those Tufo tubular clinchers rolling off the rim lately, but I've been getting away with it. I had some rub working for the last two laps at Laguna Seca and some serious rub working the last couple of laps at McLaren. Gives me pause no doubt. So I went home and told the wife that I need some new wheels, tubulars specifically, and she took a big deep breath. Times are tight around the GoFast household and there just isn't the type of liquidity we've seen in days gone by. But she paused, and I said, "do not let the next thing that comes out of your mouth be the thing that gets me to dnf'n at these races." She's been cool this year and I'm running a mostly new rig this year (because she knew I was due for an upgrade in the Millennium Falcon department), but the tire/wheel thing ain't cutting it and she knows it. So she asked how much I could get it done for and I lied my ass off something serious and she okay'd the expenditure. So I think I'll be gingerly riding the course this weekend on the tubular/clincher set up, but next week I should be joining those that figured this tubular thing out long ago. Funny how the nicest set of wheels I will own will be on the bike that gets hammered the most. I wouldn't have it any other way. Anyway, looking forward to seeing all you all at the Spooktacular this Sunday. Oh, and if you can spare a dime, I'd be right appreciative. New wheels and tubulars, not so cheap you know.
