I'm currently using tubular Bontrager Aeolus 5 wheels, tubular version, on my Speed Concept.
Honestly, the relation I have with these wheels is the "love-hate" type. I absolutely love riding with them, they are confortable, feels very light, are decently aero. But… They are tubular.
I had a flat during a GranFondo, and fortunately, I was carrying a spare used tubular tire with me. I certainly prefer to change the tube in a clincher wheel, but changing a tubular can be done...
But… Can you suggest a model of tubular tire that would be light, and easy enough to fold to carry in my draft box, and this tire must also be easy to install (I do not have a spare wheel to pre-stretch the tire…)
Thank you!
