I have a set of *** lite tubular wheels and I just got a new 24 hole PT SL. I got the PT intending to lace it up to the rear rim as I thought it would ideal for training and racing but now am having second thoughts. Two aspects to my dilemma:
a) I would want to use the wheel for training and racing but do I really want to train on tubulars (I know there are lots of discussion out there and if it weren't for the fact that I have the wheels already I probably would go with a clincher rim)
b) Is it somewhat self-defeating to take a super light rear wheel and make it heavier with the PT SL hub ?
My other option is to just get a clincher rim for the PT SL (maybe the Velocity, Mavic CXP33 or DT RR 1.2) and keep the *** lites as-is or even sell them.
Any insights much appreciated!
