Tufo Colibri Tubular Tires for MTB
While Tufo offers carbon fiber wheels with tubular tires (Tufo Colibri) that are lighter by 195g or so than the Easton EC90 XC wheelset, I’m leery of a tubular for MTB use in distant areas, due to field repair issues. But for local use where being stranded would not be a risk, I could see using tubulars.
Tufo America’s response to my request for a set of Colibri wheels to review was as follows:
Subject: Tufo Colibri question
Would Tufo be able to provide a set of the Tufo Colibri wheels for evaluation and review? I would need them around late July.
The response:

Looks like I won’t be reviewing the Tufo offering any time soon. If this is how Tufo responds to the press, I wonder how Tufo treats their customers?
