Ok, I feel like I've done something good for the bent community interested in better speed. I
contacted Tufo tires and communicated a need for a high quality 20" tubular tire to be mounted to a
clincher rim. I let them know the size of the growing bent group in North America and of our
growing race program. My first reply from the North American distributor was not to reassuring that
they would make such a tire. They told me that nobody else had ever asked for this design before,
so at this time they didn't feel a need to make one. If more interest was shown, then they would
proceed. I didn't understand why they would build a 20" racing tubular for tubular rims but not a
clincher rim. Who owns a 20" tubular rim anyhow? Anyways, I contacted Tufo directly and let them
know my wants. I could have been selfish and not let anyone know about the new tire until after I
already had one, but hey, you guys who race all may want this product. This time I hit the jackpot.
Here is a reply to my plead from Tufo tires.
Dear Mr. Chris Evans,
thank you very much for the e-mail dated 6/4/03, for your interest in the TUFO products and for the
all related valuable information.
Also thanks to yours information we are going to launch TUFO Tubular Clincher 20" at width 19mm.
For yours front 20" wheel /clincher rim/ unfortunately there is no possibility to put TUFO tubular
or replace by other TUFO model without some special adjustment /if we rightly understood your
meaning mentioned on the bottom of your e-mail/.
In any case, please, let us know the internal width of the 20" clincher rims that you ride - see on
the enclosed picture/.
Please, let us know where are you from in order to recommend you the TUFO partners where you would
buy mentioned products.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact us anytime by return.
