Tubular recommendations for occasional use

8valve

Hi foilks, I'm restoring an old duralinox frameset and putting period-correct Mavic GP4 tubular rims with Mavic hubs on it.

I've always been a clincher man, so have sfa knowledge of tubulars.

Any recommendations for a pair of cheap and cheerful tubs that'll hold air as this bike will only get very occasional road use?

Or are there any places that sell tubs with an amber sidewall second hand even?

Can't go wrong with Vittoria Rally tubs. Good quality for the price and they won't break the bank. I run them on some of my builds and no issues.

Continental do a bottom of the range tub that has tan sidewall. It has ,like the Vittoria Rally tub , a butyl inner tube. You need to avoid latex tubes as they leak air.
