To compare to clinchers, can you estimate the miles per rear tire?
I ride clinchers now but just uncovered my last pair of sew up Mavic-Campies. I lost both to an over-achiever street drain (parallel to the curb) and was just considering rebuilding them.
This year I rode the Tufo Flexus as my race tires. Tufo Elites were on my pit wheels. I paid about $60-$70 for each tire, getting them off ebay when I could find them that cheap.
I can't give you a real good estimate on mileage when you compare the tubulars against the clinchers though. I've used different clincher tires each of the last two years and haven't even come close to wearing either pair out.
