I'm stuck in a time warp. I rode tubulars up until about 8 years ago. Now I ride on clinchers with tubes, that are low maintenance, and allow me to change a flat on the road with no levers in 5 minutes. I still carry a frame-fit pump on my 2 custom steel bicycles!
I'm sure you're enjoying the new gearing. If it's hilly where you are, maybe try a 12-speed, compact double. You'll be way faster up hills than with an 11-32. Seriously, it's the best thing I ever did after changing saddles from what I used for 40 years.
