I prefer my tubbed wheels to the clincher ones. I think the feel a bit nicer to ride on. Basically if you puncture a tub you have to either stick some latex in it if its a small hole/ or change the tub if its a big one. It is theoretically possible to repair a tub once it has been punctured but this involves unpicking the stitching etc to get into the inside of it. Which is a big ball of ache. Oh yeah and they are glued/taped to the rim rather than hooking on.
