Mostly been fine with tubs, always just try not to skid them as much, probably shouldn't whip skid. I think my main issue with tubs is just the absolute ball ache of changing the tyre when you fuck it up. Did this a week ago and now I'm a wheel down because tubs are a pain in the arse to change, very time consuming. Takes a couple of days of prep.

I'm told by most people that tubs aren't too much hassle to change. My logic is as follows - a tub with some Stan's NoTubes will give me far fewer punctures than my current Clincher setup. Also, when I skid through tyres, it's not a problem. I skid through tyres eventually, anyway, whether they are clincher or tubular. I'd have been putting money down for a new clincher tyre too - it's not just tubs that I can skid through, and will have to replace
The only issue is learning to change one out on the fly.
I know they can be annoying - I'm more asking if there's any serious downside. I've been talked out of riding tubs in the past, but they can't be that bad, can they? (Famous last words, I know)
