Not worth the hassle and expense.

They still have their place in cyclocross, where certain course conditions may require ultra-low psi, and high-level road or track racing.

I do have a nice set of ENVE tubulars that I purchased 6 or so years back when full-carbon clincher technology was new and not really safe due to brake track failures. Now, I'd trade them in a second for some carbon clinchers.

I gave up on Vittoria tubulars due to puncture frequency and switched to Continentals, which have butyl inners and are BRUTAL to install cleanly.

Anybody who wants to run tubulars recreationally should definitely take advantage of pre-owned deals and not waste money on brand new wheels.
