I'm sure this has been asked many times but cant find any threads from the search, here goes anyway.

Simple question, Clinchers or Tubs? Pros & Cons of both please?

Or send me to thread if you know where it is.

Cheers for help.

    If you have to ask the question, then the answer is clinchers.

    Clinchers = training
    Tubs = racing.


    Note racing does not include sportives :wink:

    Yup - if you need to ask = clinchers.

    I use tubs for road racing an cyclo-cross where the handling/performance advantage is worthwhile - for all other types of cycling, it's a lot more marginal, particularly if you don't have a spare wheel to hand.
