If you'e wanting to keep them, though, get some conti sprinters (a good price/quality mix) and have a shop glue them if you've never done it before. You may be completely non-plussed by the way they ride, but you will have experimented, and it seems that tubulars with a well-glued quality tire in good condition do a little better in terms of resale value.
Doubt that. You can ride on a flat tubular. It is pretty much impossible on a clincher. Kind of stupid to lose a race due to a flat.
