Tufo Road Tires ~

 

Started in Otrokovice in the eastern end of the Czech Republic in 1991, TUFO has taken the worlds of road racing, cyclocross, and triathlon by storm! Their truly revolutionary "Tubular-Clincher" tires combine the high performance of tubular tires with the convenience of clinchers. And, their extraordinarily high pressure handling capability makes them the most efficient tires on the market. TUFO tubular tires are among the most durable and dependable ever made. 

 

Tubular-Clincher Tires ~

Installs on any standard clincher rim!

HOW DOES THE "TUBULAR-CLINCHER" WORK?

When inflated, the tubular-clincher, in the same way as a tubular tire, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tire against the rim as well as possibility of the tire unseating. The bottom profiled bead band functions as a filling in the area between the rim and the tire. And as the tire is inflated, the band sides literally “bite” into the rim shoulders. This is the major difference from all previous unsuccessful experiments of other tire manufacturers, where the bottom rubber band was in fact only a passive filling between the rim and the tire!

Benefits of TUFO tubular-clincher tires:

bullethigh inflation pressures – up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls (even when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation the pressure is contained inside the tire and does not affect the rim walls!)
bulletnearly the same riding quality as tubular tires
bulletsafe handling in case of punctures; the stability of a rider is not affected
bulletin case of emergency the tire can be ridden flat
bulletfastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools

Tufo Tire Sealant ~

For ALL TUFO tires!

A highly effective product for repair of flats of all TUFO tires. It can be used after getting a flat, when it seals instantly punctures up to 2 mm in diameter. It can also be used preventively when applied to the inside of the tire before use. When a flat occurs the sealant seals the puncture, most often without any air loss, so the rider does not even detect getting a flat. It increases safety considerably, since fast loss of air does not occur and, consequently, riders stability is not diminished. Application through the valve opening. 35 ml, for 1 to 2 repairs

New 70ml size, twice as much as before!

Qty:          Tufo tire sealant, 70ml         $8.99
