I'd rather not have to carry around an extra tire, k-bar combat knife (to slice the tubular off after I get a flat), and a bottle of glue. Plus if I get 2 flats, I'm f**ked.
So.. for general riding and some racing, around the NYC area (keep that in mind if you think I'll never see a puncture in my life), greater than 40mm deep, lighter than 1600 grams, aluminium (if it even exists).
