I picked up a set of carbon clinchers because of weight, slight aero factor (bora 35s), stiffness, convenience, and ease to work with compared to tubulars...depending on tire choice...ride just as nice as tubulars IMO. Unless you have the time, patience, money to pay a shop, or you’re seriously racing...I prefer clinchers.

Hope this doesn't go down that 'tubulars or clinchers' rabbit hole...Hope it will stay 'carbon clinchers or aluminum clinchers'..goods and others...why each or why carbon, if you are a clincher kinda guy.

I've built more than a few and 'some' carbon hoops are really a breeze to build, 'some' not-so-much...BUT IMHO, for the weight and $ of carbon hoops/clincher, not sure I 'get it'...compared to some really nice aluminum clincher rims...DT411/511, as examples.
