Re: tubulars vs. clinchers

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

Yep, but it's winter, why not?

Tim-<< Short answer:  ride 'em if *you* like 'em. >><BR><BR>

GREAT answer-well done

Tim-<< 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.

Oh well, so much for that....clinchers are nice but not the equal to tubioes in
perms of performance, safety, weight, durability, etc..apples to apples,
price/quality to price/quality.

We sell a lot of them to recreational riders and racers. I use them on my
'nice' bike. I see NO compelling rerason to change.
