Group Buy: Race Tires and Wheelcovers from Wheelbuilder
Team,
I've hooked up a group buy opportunity on EN-recommended Vitorria Open Corsa Tires, latex tubes, and wheelcover through Wheelbuilder. You'll get this as part of the Team Update, going out today, but wanted to park it here as well.
- Go here to order
- Deadline: place your order your remaining 2011 races by Thursday, September 8th
Thanks!

Yep, I locked Sawiris in his office and put a beat down on him to get these prices
. Note the deadline. The tradeoff is we do this as a group buy to make the order process efficient for them. Don't when we'll be able to do this again to get it done by the deadline. Thanks!
Cheers!
Tires are black. Stems are...dunno...long enough? I'm assuming typical race wheel depth of 60-80mm. Sorry, at SBUX, my stuff is at home.

Too long for my disc...I've had a terrible time finding short enough valves to get the crack pipe in there and I actually regret the disc I bough for that reason alone.
I submitted my request post-IMWI camp. Will those be coming soon?

Awesome! Thanks!
Prices include tax?
No sales tax for CA residents, I do some magic with the invoicing.
This is old, but I bought a HED ALPS back in 2005 and remember seeing something about compatibility issues with some tires and these rims. I have used Conti's and Michelins with no problem. Would be interested in the Vitorria Open Corsa Tires. couldn't find any new info on the HED website. might be worth an e-mail to them to see what their current recommendation is.
Mounted the Corsa on the Hed3. Went on fine, in fact a little more snuggly than the ProRace 3 on there. FWIW, I took it back off and put the PR3 back on. I'll put the race tires on on Monday before my final ride before I box up and ship the bike to WI.
