Mixed wheel types
Hi ,
Am toying with the idea of tubular front wheel and either tubeless or clincher back wheel . I find front wheel hardly ever punctures ( ( once in 10,000 miles ) so weight advantage would be nice . Any comments on this idea please !

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

I'd be put off by having to carry kit to repair both types. Spare tub and spare tubes (and tyre levers, if you use them).
