what are you riding ? tubulars ?
Yes. Once you ride a good pair of tubulars, you never want to go back. Although I am tempted to try the tubeless system if I can score a pair of the new dura ace wheels.

People still ride clinchers?
People still ride tubulars? I was a hardcore tubie, but I had way too many $200 training rides. It's not worth buying cheap tubulars, and high-end clinchers are every bit as good as tubulars these days. A flat on a $100 clincher costs about $94 less than on a tubular. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about rolling off your unglued spare on every corner for the rest of the ride. I still like tubs, but only if there's a wheelwagon following me, and that just ain't gonna happen anymore.
