Tubs

Who has tubular wheels?

What are your thoughts on living with them? What is your contingency for a puncture during a ride? (sealant or pre-glued spare)

What is required (rims, tubs, glue) and is there a convenient guide you've found on the whole install process?

Cheers!

Cool, doesn't necessarily sound too bad.

I'm considering them for my "nice" bike. Won't be racing them or anything so it'd be purely to get blingy, light wheels. Carbon clinchers just seem a heavy compromise, although I have some on my TT bike which is probably the only valid use for CCs.

Hmm, I want blingy, 1200g wheels but it does seem like a lot of faff!

Thanks for the advice all.

Went ahead and ordered some new carbon clinchers. Probably not the lightest or most aero but they'll hopefully put a smile on my face!

I went for some Campag Bora One 35 dark label. These will go on the Rose and my Mavic Cosmic Carbones will move onto the Cinelli. Allegedly, the Mavics are 10 & 11sp campag compatible!

Went for some Vittoria Corsa SC with tan walls and Conti Supersonic tubes to go with.
