They will work, but I have had them slip which causes it to be harden to tighten them. Campy or Dura Ace are my choice because they lock in the bore in the spider and are thus very easy to tighten.

gycho77,

All of the rental bikes at the velo use clincher wheels/tires. They use Vittoria Rubio (I think this how it is spelled). I am sure Tufos would work. I know some use Tufo tubulars.
