I am in the very early planning stages of my third and final retro steel road bike.
I already have a nice light 653 frame and am starting to look at possible components, but the big question is about wheels, as I want them light.
I'm not talking £2000 wheel sets here, I'm not that flush (or dedicated). But looking at decent wheels; tubs are always lighter, where as clinchers are heavier, usually a bit more expensive, but a lot more convenient when it comes to punctures or tyre changing.
So, is it tubs or clinchers?
