Good place to buy?

[h90]

Try to buy "Shimano Ultegra 6800 Tubeless Ready Wheelset"

Culture Cyclist: No have, looking me like I want the most exotic item on the planet

Another shop: forgot the name: Ultegra no have

Some emails: non answered

Nakhon Bike: closed today

KM8Bicycle: No stock, no idea when it comes again

Anyone knows some shop with a good probability of having it, or being able to order it?

Ordering it from outside is a bit expensive

Hello h90, where are you located? There is a nice shop in downtown Korat.

Going out to get some milk and a lightbulb, will try to get name and # when I go by

the store on the sancta.

Your favorite shop (ProBike) is a Shimano importer, you could try there. ;-) although they'll try to sell you another Bontrager wheelset instead no doubt.......

Korat isn't near. But if he has a set I wouldn't have a problem transferring the money before and he EMS them to me.

Well I would try to avoid ProBike if I can.....Rather import from Europe than going there again.....

no luck at champs bike.

But nakhorn bike has it.

They have also the Grand Prix II 700x23 tire, hope it is good.....

Yeah it's a very good tyre, but not tubeless. I run the original version in 700x25 on my carbon clinchers

I still don't know why tubular (these on the rim glued) tires aren't common anymore. I liked them, never had any problems, lightweight....

I wouldn't say they're not popular, just hard to find in Thailand and more difficult to fix if you get a puncture.

I think the roadside fix was just to tear off the old and put a new one on. But as it isn't glued you had to go slow.

To perfectly glue a new one is not as simple as changing a tube....but you don't do it that often.

I liked them......

I had some Mavic GP4's with Gipiemme hubs and chrome spokes around 1985. What I remember the most is the really smooth comfortable and fast ride you got with

tubular/tubs/sew ups tyres and rims. Fixing a flat though,cutting the threads, patching the tube and then sewing the tyre back together without puncturing the inner tube

with needle! Then you had to glue it back onto the rim....amazing ride though.

I really loved chrome spokes too. The sparkle you got in the sunshine and at night was brilliant. I wish you could get hold of chrome spokes today. The sparkle and bling of a

bike race back in those days. All those chromed Christophe toe clips spinning round! Just about everything has improved in the bike world but losing chrome

Spokes and gaining the ubiquitous black spokes is not an improvement. I almost despair when I go into a bike shop nowadays and see a shop full of bikes with black spokes.

Well fixing tubular...I would not have thought of opening it....just gluing the new on the rim was enough hassle the first time I tried (had more glue on my body than on the rim...).

my guess is that the old light rims for tubular needed more spokes than the new heavy one.

My first bike, second hand, was just in the shop for repainting, they were just washing off the old color. As it was chromed steel frame I thought it doesn't look bad and I got a better price buying it without color.

It looked good, just chrome.
