No group on bicycles would be complete without a discussion of the merits of
sew-ups vs. clinchers (no flames, please).

I was a real snob about this back when I was racing, and only rode sewups.
Now I'm getting back into biking, but as a tourista, and I'm using light
clinchers (specifically 700 X 25 Specialized Ultralights). They seem to ride
and handle nicely, but not as nicely as I remember sew-ups behaving.

Do people who have used this sort of clincher side-by-side with sew-ups have
any comments?
