Race Wheel Set Type
Quote | Reply
I am buying a new set of race wheels, these will only be used for racing as I ride inside 95% of the time.
My old race wheels were tubular after switching over about 2 years ago. I love the feel of tubular over clincher and can change a flat in about the same time.

I was going to go tubular but the dealer mentioned tubeless, I have never ridden a set. I rode the vittoria corsa speed tubular tires before and saw the new low rolling Resistance on the open tubular version, http://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/...ria-corsa-speed-2016

Should I go tubular wheels or tubeless ready wheel set and run tubeless on race day?

For me, clinchers with latex tires ride close enough to tubulars that I can't tell the difference. My race wheels are tubular, only because the company didn't make them clinchers.

For lower rolling resistance, there's no reason no to go with either clinchers or tubeless in today's world.
