Yup, I'd ride tubs over clinchers any day. Even on the Cheshire lanes I used to train and race on :0)

Many climbs out in Dubai? What are your ride routes like - huge rectangles?

I used to live/train/race in Riyadh which was always a challenge. Was either too hot forcing us out at 5 or 6 am or the locals would take a dim view of a man in tight shorts and top in broad daylight.

Ha ha, nope, no climbs but if you drive an hour away then you can climb Hatta but I haven't bothered yet. I plan to hence the larger cassette on the Cervelo.

The rides here are soooo boring. To be fair, a lot of money has now been spent on a cycle specific track that's 85k long but there's nothing to look at apart from sand, the odd tree and a few camels but at least it's safe.

I go to Riyadh once a month for a few days on business, no way could i imagine riding anywhere over in Saudi, I don't even drive when i go there, they are mentalists!!!

Fair enough but the roads here at the moment you're better off on an MTB!

A set of nemesis tubs is on my 'need to own one day' list.

They feel great to ride and look great too.
