Guys, lets not cast aspersions on Batman, this is after all C&V and not the road forum.
Maybe he has a good reason to have not chimed in.

I don't own any clinchers, and have had no problems with tubulars. I get more than
my money's worth out of the tires, whether they're Servio Corse or Gommitalia Espressos.
y'all need to go old school, learn to wipe tires (if you don't have flint catchers) and avoid
the debris field on the side of the road.
I agree that repairing a $25.00 tire doesn't make sense, but for 15 or 16 bucks it does make
sense to send better tires to Tire Alert in Florida for repair, or learn to repair em yourself.

but, I digress. I totally agree Clinchers are WAY better, cheaper and technologically more
advanced ( they have carbon fiber too!). Y'all need to convert your tubular bikes to clinchers
and then put those unsafe tubular rims on ebay and craigslist for $25 each. I'll buy em every time.
