Tubs are made of the same materials as clinchers, and puncture about as frequently, so it's not problem assuming you carry a spare. Fitting (and repair) are ofc much more labour-intensive, but the ride and handling make it worthwhile

A useful-looking vendor esp for those who build their own wheels!

What a lovely frame!

A splendid yarn. Keep at it!

Cmon, that's not that many bikes
