Tubular or clincher?

[SadieKate]

they're faster (more air in them = less friction = less drag), they're easier to change and they're all you'll ever want in a tire.

I also thought tubulars were faster because of the suppleness of the casing. They are higher PSI too right? I still thought it was the casing that was most responsible for the speed.

And the only reason tubulars are easier for the pros is because they have a support car that pulls up and swaps wheels - nothing to do with the type of tire. Flats on clinchers are easier to repair quickly.
