I've ridden with tubs on the road for nearly a year. There's no point. I only ever had 2 punctures but it simply wasn't worth the hassle. I love the idea of them and understand why they're ridden for serious racing. You can get some serious air in 'em. Replacing them is costly. Fixing them is timely. Then you've got to glue them on. You can buy a glue which you spray into the tube but it isn't always going to fix it.
I've just replaced mine with some vintage chrome mavic clinchers. With some narrow gum wall tires you get the same look and a lot of relief!
