Winter Tires: for Tubulars, One Great Choice, the Veloflex Roubaix
Which tires to use during winter, where glass and sticks and general debris show up on the road shoulder?
I ride only tubulars, and for winter I recommend the Veloflex Roubaix on the rear, with another Roubaix on the front. The Veloflex Criterium is also a good choice but the Roubaix is the most robust, so for winter it’s my first choice. Several thousand miles on the Roubaix have me picking it as my #1 choice for a robust tubular.
BTW, Veloflex tubulars are certainly the best tubulars on the market today: ride quality, grip, handling and removable valve cores for side-of-the-road insertion of Stan’s NoTubes in case of a puncture.
