I only have two bikes with tubulars, both are C&V. I won't use tubulars now because there aren't any light rims. I raced on GEL280s and GL330s, not even carbon tubular rims are that light anymore; that include carbon tubulars for disc brakes. If there were some light (and I mean less that 400 grams, pref closer to 350g) I'd ride tubies on a regular basis. But with a number of clincher rims that are lighter than a lot of current tubular rims I'm not for the extra work. If I never have to pull the base tape, cut stitching, patch a tube, re-sew, re-tape the base tape and re-glue/tape it'll be too soon.
