Would love a video on mounting tubular tires. 2. SAAVEDRA Rims normally come with special nipple washers. I built up some clinchers with their nipple washers and they are great.(24 hole front and 28 hole rear) Now I have built up some tubulars(24 hole front and rear) using standard steel nipple washers on these very thin walled rims. I have not ridden on them yet. I used double nipple washers on the drive side of the rear wheel. These rims are only 280 grams and if I had the SAAVEDRA nipple washers they would spread the load over a greater area. Have you any comments on bullet proofing these ultra light classic rims? 1.
