Just wanted to bump this... anyone have any new suggestions on what the best tubulars to skid on are? I can't figure out which ones are the heaviest duty. I'm going to try one of those green Vittoria cyclocross sew ups at first, but want some other suggestions.

Also, no one ever rolls a tubular unless (a) it's glued improperly - and they're easy to glue, or (b) they're riding the brakes on a descent, heating up the rim and melting the glue. At least, no one who isn't racing.

Thanks! Just had a wheelset built up at Boulevard in Chicago - 28-spoke Ambrosio Montreal tubular rims laced to a shimano 600 road hub in front and a dura-ace track/track hub in back. So, so light!
