The QBP is through his job (it's not a personal account).

The tires will be race only - I'll be running clinchers for the flat fixing convenience on training and local group rides. A teammate who has been running tubulars for years sold me on running them and said he'd give me a tutorial on glueing or taping (not sure which I want to do yet). He also recommended that I buy spares (due to the PITA nature of fixing flats). He said he just hangs the flat on his wall and mounts a different tire and then on a cold winter day he has a patching party where folks come over and unlace and patch with some hearty food and beer (well, they eat the hearty food and drink the beer - they don't use that as the patching material :- >)

As for the Pave, not sure if there is a Kevlar layer or not - it doesn't say on the Vittoria website.
