Thanks Paul"
paulg replied to Andrew Johnson's discussion Max tyre width allowed at Nationals?"Check with BC but I think it will depend on what class you are racing in. Obviously the seniors and women are run under UCI rules but I am not sure all the races are, like the vets etc."

Tom Bailey replied to paulg's discussion New Wheels"I'm building up a number of tubular wheels for cross at the moment in that price range. PM me if you'd like to know the details - I don't think I'm allowed to openly advertise on here"
Dave Haygarth replied to paulg's discussion New Wheels"Yes - Lee's right - the advantage of the Major Tom rim is they are a very wide bed. Stronger rim so can be built with less / lighter spoke PLUS more glueing platform. Zipp rims are pretty good for that reason too if you don't…"
Lee Shunburne replied to paulg's discussion New Wheels"EA70s have quite narrow rims with a deep 'U' for gluing the tubs on - not ideal for a fat cross tub."
paulg replied to paulg's discussion New Wheels"Thanks Tom I am tempted, even if it's a little more than I really want to spend. It's just that there is a set of EA70xs going on ebay at the moment and it ends in about 3 hours!"
scot replied to paulg's discussion New Wheels"If it was my money i'd spend the extra and go for the Major Toms/Hope hubs, I'd trust these hubs to be more durable and if you do ever have any issues spares are easy to get hold of, including snapped spokes...."

I've been running with Fulcrum Racing 5s for the last two seasons but fancy going the tubular route this year. I've read good things about the Strada Major Toms on here already and they are an option but does anybody have any views on the Easton EA70x, which are a bit cheaper. I also notice that Evans have started selling the Cole T24 Lites and these seem a bit too cheap. Any help would be much appreciated.
