Have some zipp 303s (tubs) fitted in the road bike, do I gamble that they will not encounter any issues (will take 2 cans of vittoria sealant) or fit the standard campag rims, which are clearly much easier to repair.......?

Only been using the tubs for 4 weeks and they have seemed solid and are a much bett ride but have images of being stranded mid way... Conversely they are lowly to ride and its a bit of arse trying to realign the gears etc tonight ...!

Your thoughts/experiences would be much appreciated...

Many thanks

Timed out on tat one.... Wondering if the tubes of sealant will suffice..... Like a game of Russian roulette smile
