Although the way tires are labeled is somewhat confusing. Some makers labels them as 700c and some are 27's but most are labeled 28's. I guess El Presidente's 27 tubs are safe :)<BR/><BR/>other guys who uses tubs in the club are Cesar and Spak. I have a few 700c and a couple of 650 that I use occasionally. <BR/><BR/>Why don't we try a sewup ride on the 16th? We'll see if the weather cooperates and we'll head north.
