Hi.
I ride tubular for training and racing.
I have tried veloflex arenberg, very smooth ride but i had too many puntures. I decided to try conti gatorskin in 25mm and the hold up very well, no punture yet.
They are about to be worn out so i think i will try the conti sprinter in 25mm. I couldnt find much about their durability and how the ride, anybody who have any experience with these tubular?
Conti sprinter tubular.

Experience with both/all. The sprinters ride better, not as nice as the Veloflex and puncture more than the gatorskins. I'd choose gatorskins for training (Although I'm trying the Veloflex Vlaanderen) and go to a more supple tyre for racing. So while I like the Sprinters, they are too much in the middle. If you train AND race on the same tyres - good choice.

They are really good value and fast enough to race on - on the basis they test as virtually identical crr to the Competitions. Obviously a bit slower than more supple compounds
That said, IME they are not quite as puncture resistant as the Comps, and are also slightly heavier
VFM - one of the best cheaper tubs
