Hi There,
If you are racing in Triathlons or TT or Road Races then tubs are cracking!!! If you are pottering around town or training (wet days especially) then tubs are not the right choice. They have less rolling resistance which means that you go faster for less/the same effort, they are a more comforfortable, smoother ride and in general, you are less likely to puncture if you have your tyres OR tubs pumped up to max pressure....ie. The higher the pressure, the less likely the rubber is to let a thorn or piece of glass through it. Use tubs for racing and clinchers for training. Oh yeah, and use tape not glue, but everyone should learn that the hard way!!!! ;-)
