I love them and train in them as well as race (Cat 4 - nothing crazy). I love the ride - like having an air cushion under you at all times. I notice a big difference. My issue is a slow leak on my rear tire. It holds air for 2-3 days but loses pressure (goes down to about 80 psi from 140). Not sure if I should use a sealant or replace the tire (Conti Sprinter with some life left in it). Any thoughts? I'm also considering the Tufo tape but am wary. Hi,

The feel and ride of a tubular are addictive. Even after a flat or two one still has the fever. As for pressure, the ideal should vary rider to rider however, I feel I have found the ideal balance thanks to BKW friend George Noyes. I took the pressure George said the PROs favored (7.5 bars front, and 8 bars rear) and tried it myself: wonderful! A few of the bigger riders I know have even tried the same pressure with good results. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts. George has shared a lot of the PRO stories and you can check them out by clicking the "Bring the Noyes" catagory. <br/><br/>- RF Rick,
