Tubular or Clincher?
      05/26/08 06:18 PM (66.27.148.144)

I am looking into buying another wheel set and am considering tubulars. I have talked with a few people whose opinion I respect that tell me that the tubulars are lighter, faster, handle better, ride better and have fewer flats than clinchers. The downside, of course, is gluing a tire on during a roadside repair. I have also been told that this isn't that difficult.

Anyone ride with tubulars? Do tubulars make sense for everyday riding? I do not race, just training rides and club rides.
