Yeah, that's basically the idea. I don't see how it's possible to justify the expense (and for me, the apartment space required) for a full quiver of tubular wheels. On the other hand, I haven't bought into tubeless for 'cross. If I'm going to change tires, I don't want it to be messy on top of everything else. Right now I've got my tubular Grifos for 90% of races, a super-fast grass crit tire (Michelin Jet), a tire for really loose gravel conditions, just need a "holy crap is that a lot of mud" tire.
