Tubular or clincher?

[Mr. SR500]

I'm in the same boat, looking at some 50mm carbon aero wheels. Most around here run tubulars, but I think I'm going with clinchers. I plan to use them more then just to race, the weight difference is almost 1 lb, I guess I can live with that, but overall ease they just make more sense.

What wheels are you looking at? 1 lb difference is a lot...

If you are planning on using them more then just racing, definitaly go with clinchers. I wish I had now(but I got an amazing deal on the tubulars, so I couldn't afford not to go with them being a struggling college student).

Do you mind if I ask why you wish you'd gone with the clinchers? Are you disappointed with the tubulars?
