Partly because of the high incidence of zillion dollar carbon wheels, which are mostly tubular. There are carbon clinchers but weight savings are not what the tubulars are. |

They are the various bikes the pros use. Tires are listed. Some clinchers, some tubulars. |

And many tyres wearing labels related only to the prevailing sponsorship deal, and nothing to do with the actual origin of the tyre.

As with concurrent voluminous discussions here, each team and/or rider makes equipment decisions based on a host of factors (some real, some exaggerated, some fanciful and some occasionally disastrous). Short answer: Most but by no means all clinchers. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

If I had to guess, I'd say most tubulars, but not all tubulars. Some clinchers too. |

Short answer: Most but by no means all clinchers. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 Typically, Le Cycle publishes this information for all Pro Tour and Continental teams in its February issue, along with particular notes about tires used and those which are sponsored. (Saddles, you might easily guess, are very personal.) I won't have a chance to get this info to the forum, but perhaps someone at home could. Incidentally, the large majority of last year's teams used tubulars - around 65% - even when the tire sponsor is not known to produce them. -- Bonne route ! Sandy Verneuil-sur-Seine FR |
