My everyday/training wheelset (rims) are dying. I am toying with going tubular as every flat i've got till date was a pinch due to being a knob with tyre pressures etc. I know what I will gain/lose by going tubular.
So my options are get tubular rims and get a wheelbuilder to re-lace the novatec hubs to it which will cost about £80 for the build plus rims OR sell the wheelset and get a new novatec wheelset built for about £50 more.
The big question is what rims? Reflex although light get mixed reviews for being too fragile .. crono are nice (and pricey) BUT have anodised braking surface which I dont want .. what else?
They will mostly be laced to Novatec hubs.
