Conti GP5000 clincher be a suitable choice?
No. Continue doing make a track suitable clincher.
Vittoria Pista if you’re fancy, zaffiro slick if you’re not.
Fwiw, I prefer people to ride the cheapest clincher tyres possible on the track. The people on zaffiro slicks are waaaay more likely to replace their tyres when they become worn or damaged than those that have paid upwards of £80 per tub and then had to either glue them themselves or pay and wait for someone else to do it.

Quick question.
New track bike being built, I've used tubs and clinchers in the past but wondered what people's preference would be? I found little difference between them. I'm just thinking of affordability more than anything in the current climate.
Wheels will be 25mm width either way probably. Would Conti GP5000 clincher be a suitable choice?
Track will be Derby BTW.
