For me the primary advantages for tubular wheels/tires are weight reduction and the rounder profile of tire. Without weight reduction, Tufo's unique approach loses appeal for me.
The fact that no other manufacturer has produced a similar type product is also a major downside and an indication the industry has reservations. The concept of a better tire for all those clincher wheels is worthy, credits to Tufo.
I should buy some expensive clinchers to see how they roll compared to my tubies. Also haven't tried the wider clincher wheels.
