Anyone experience with Conti Sprinter tubular for everyday riding? I'm also interested in the feel between a 22mm tubular and 25c clincher, if possible, since the Sprinter 22mm is as wide as they go.
Thanks!

For a training tire I would look at the sprinter gatorskin, I have used them for 2 years as training/commuting and never have a flat. I also use cheap training tubulars (Rally's) and flat about 3 times a year. The gatorskins have a harsher ride, but I am willing to live with it for commuting/training.

I have used the sprinters before, I find they flat about as much as rally's but are very easy to repair.

Great. I've been looking at the Sprinter Gatorskin tubular also for daily riding since they have a lot of positive reviews.

the new tire sports their black chili compound which is softer and lighter. seems like the gatorskin is more like the older sprinter but I'm sure its all reformulated. I pretty much use the sprinter, competition and tufos. and I stopped using the rally!
