I have ridden tubulars for years and would rather change a tubular than a clincher. My spare tubular is one that has been glued and ridden on; when it goes on the rim again it has no problem staying put. I have ridden 80 miles or more on more than one occasion on a spare tubular with no movement. Clinchers are harder to change and easier to pinch. Why limit yourself to the nicer ride of a tubular only on race day?! I used to ride Vittoria Corsas before they became exorbitant. I now ride on Vittoria Rally; inexpensive and good for 1800 miles or so...
