Hi there, doing my second 70.3 at the end of the year (Miami) and am looking to get some decent aero wheels for my road bike to use as racing only.  I have seen the C75TUs for (relatively!!) cheap online and was thinking about taking the plunge.  I have two concerns: first that I have always had clinchers and have zero experience with tubs and second that 75 seems quite deep at the front when I think of a cross wind but am I just being a bit pathetic?

Thanks!

    Personally i'd take the view that as you can't change a tubular very easily during a race, the time you'd save by having a clincher and thus a back up option in the event of a problem is worth the weight penalty.... you could look at tubeless as a compromise?

    To me 75mm is a touch big for the front but it is course dependant....

    If you want a decent quality set of wheels without breaking the bank, these are hard to argue with (check out the review in the mag recently too...) http://www.walker-brothers.co.uk/shop/4585910039/fleet-60-86mm-clincher-wheelset/9971408
