Any recommendations? I bought a used one and it has a 19mm Tufo already on it. I have only used tubulars on a couple of occasions and don’t know how to pick the tire for the wheel. I think I read somewhere it has a 19mm rim profile? I’m going to ride the tire that’s on it and will just leave it if it feels ok, but if I had to change, what direction should I look it? Running a SRAM S80 front with a GP Triathlon clincher if it makes a diff.
Thanks
Tufos are the best tubulars out there, keep those.

Yeah I have heard they are a quality tire. I’m really more concerned about it being a 19mm tire on the rear. I had a 19mm front on my road bike and it was a bit squirrely at first. Should I think about something wider for the rear? I mostly do sprints and TTs.
i like a bit wider tire on the rear.

Like How wide? 22 or 23?

based on what?
rolling resistance: nope
aerodynamics: nope
I think he was being sarcastic.
I know that I have a bit of a reputation for being a smarty-pants, but I really would dig some serious opinions on this. It could mean the difference between a $5 Olive Garden Gift Card and a free pair of socks.
If you can get a used or new zipp tangient go with that. IMO
Like a 22 or something?
Think they come in 21 and 23. What everyou are comfy riding with in IMO. Have to go out and ride now only got 2 hours to do so.
