The tubies are really nice. I have a set that I use occasionally on my geared bike and they feel like you strapped a set of wings to the bike.

On this bike, the wheels came with the bike, and the tubies just needed put on.

They just seem to roll a bit smoother and lets face it, like alot of things there is an inmeasurable magic about sitting down and taking the time to glue up and mount them. Same sensation as building a set of your own wheels. Clinchers...ya just tend to throw em on.
