Im looking for a fast but reliable tubular training tire? I been looking at conti sprinters, Zeloflex Carbon, Conti Comp. Let me know what you recommend that wont leave me fixing tires all the time on the side of the roadway?

Conti Competition with about 6-10cc's of Stan's Sealant should be very reliable. Sprinters would work well too; you get what you pay for, these are cheaper but won't ride as nice as the Competitions.
I have heard good things about the Veloflex Carbons but have not ridden them, so I can't speak to their durability/flat-resistance.

I have a set of Conti. Gatorskin tubulars on my Pista. They are not a bad riding tire. I've not had them long, but if they prove to be anywhere close to the durability and flat resistance of the Gatorskin clinchers, which I've used for years and highly recommend, they could be just the ticket for tubular training tires.

I've been riding Tufo S33's now for a month and have not had a single cut.
