Hi, I am going to attempt to re-tread a tubular tire, anyone got any

I am hoping to remove a dried, cracked tread from a Challenge
Cyclocross tubular and then glue the tread from a Specialized or Kenda
clincher tire to the casing.
I have heard rumors that A. Dugast *performs this service and I have
seen some custom tubulars so I know it is possible.
Cheers,

So check with Dugast. Alternately, you might see if Tire Alert can be of
assistance.


Thanks for that, I am doubtful as to whether Dugast will share any
secrets of the art with me, perhaps TireAlert will.
