FMB Paris-Roubaix 27 & 30 mm Tubular

Price range: $149.00 through $199.00

Tubular tires don’t get better than this: With a little extra width, the Paris-Roubaix dials up the speed, comfort and traction of FMB tubulars to the ultimate degree. Whether you are heading onto the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, a smooth gravel road, or even pavement, you won’t find a better tubular tire! Now available with ultralight TPU tubes. (Also available with latex tubes as long as stocks last.)

  • Cotton casing for all-round performance
  • Silk casing for the ultimate in supple speed

 

FMB tubulars are made by hand in a small workshop in Brittany, France. The tread is glued to the inflated casing to avoid the inbuilt stresses that occur with ‘flat-glued’ tubulars. This means that the tread absorbs less energy when it deforms as the tire rolls along. The result is a faster, more supple tire. These are the tires that professional racers buy with their own money for their most important races.

Made in France.

Pro Tip: If you have a flat on a tubular with TPU tube, use TPU Tube Sealant to seal the hole, rather than opening the tire and patching the tube.
