Both for TT, and exclusively for the track.

Hope its not too late to get in on a deal.

Thanks for your efforts in all these opportunities for ST peeps.

Yes, have a set of tubular 303s, 404s and 808s (not super rich, all bought very lightly used) that I use for road racing, used to use for tris when I could still run. Clinchers for training wheels. That many sets of wheels is why I will never, ever go to a disc brake road or tri bike.

2 extremes. I race on Aeolus 9 tubulars with a PowerTap and sometimes train on the Aeolus 2 Tubulars. The price was right on both, so I went with them. I prefer the clinchers on my other bike since I seem to hit wire int eh road and puncture the tires all the time.

Thats a good call. There was a guy riding clinchers at Tulsa Tough this year and flatted in a turn, caused a huge crash becuase he could not maintain stability. I similarly flatted a tubular this season in a crit on a turn and had no issue finishing the turn and easily made it through the lap to the pit. Tubulars are a very smart choice for serious crit racers.
