R U sure (about the Hed wheels) the seller has posted
"These are clinchers not tubs!"
R those Spinergy wheels any good ?
Quite like the idea of tubs apart from the fact have to cart around a huge spare tire (as oppose to a nice little inner tube), and being totally shafted in a race if you get more than one puncture..

Tub rims are nice and smooth for glue.
Clinchers - have to have a lip for the tyre to lock into.
The aerodynamic position of tribars is much the biggest improvement on speed that I've found.

in fact, he cited punctures as a reason for changing to tubs
reckoned he got less of them and/or easier to change if he got one
though that seems to run against what you are saying above
also better for high speed cornering?
( you gotta be pretty good for that to apply though i guess)
Spinergy are nice wheels. I borrowed a pair once and PB'd on them. And knacked my handicap for the next few seasons.
They might be a bit old though. Not sure if they're still made ?
