Oh, goodie.  The bimonthly tubulars vs. clinchers thread.  This
ought to be good for 600 or so responses.

Short answer:  ride 'em if *you* like 'em.

Long answer:  few people ride tubulars any longer.  Clinchers are the
equals of tubulars, easier to fix and easier to find when you want to
buy a spare.  Tubulars are so '80s.
