In most cases you can get a pretty good swag simply by measuring the rim's inside diameter.

I'll stay out of the tubular - clincher debate, since I am still trying to decide how to rebuild the original wheelset on Capo #2. I rode tubulars quite frequently during the 1970s, but quickly gave them up after moving to north coastal San Diego County with its myriad goathead thorns.
