I ride tubulars all the time, just get a tubular with good puncture and cut protection (vectran belt) e.g Conti competition and gp4000. The more expensive tubulars have latex inner tubes which improve the ride and puncture protection, Putting a heavy tire like a gatorskin on a tubular rim kinda of defeats the purpose.

I love the comfort from a tubular and you'll notice the rotational weight saving from the lighter rim . I use Tufo tape to mount the tubulars and have never had a problem, it takes about 5 minutes to put the tubular on but it's difficult to get one off. I carry a small bottle of Stan sealant and have only needed to use it once in 3 years
