I respectfully disagree with the notion that one shouldn't use tubulars on a commuter. I enjoy the feel of tubulars, and use them almost exclusively, even on my UE-8 commuter/errand bike. The roads between my house and office are pretty good, though. I just wish there was a wide, reasonably-priced, butyl-tubed tubular available for everyday use. I would use clinchers if I had to travel through rough streets with lots of glass and other road debris. Besides, if you are running late for work, it's quicker to change a tubular!
