Please stop with the tubular myths! If a tubular has any disadvantage over a clincher, it's because you have to learn a technique that might not be as automatic as changing a clincher. I'm still riding tubulars because it's what I know and what I'm comfortable with going back 35 years.

Actually, if anything in modern cycling technology has disappointed me, it's 700c clinchers. I find no advantage on the road over tubulars, and they're a pain in the butt to fix out in the middle of nowhere compared to a tubular. Having to carry tyre levers, bah!

Tubulars are not obsolete - they're just an additional technique that a lot of cyclists don't want to bother learning. Their loss.
