On his other bike he is running sew-ups that he has injected with
Slime and says he hasn't gotten a flat on those either.


Sew-ups with slime? I can't even imagine how messy that must be when
swapping tires. Yuck!

And why would it be messy to have slime in a sew-up aka tubular tire when
changing tires? The slime is completely inside the tube which is inside
an enclosed tire casing.

Until it’s not.

It'd be no more messier than slime inside a punctured inner tube on a
clincher rim. In fact it might even be less messy as the tire casing of
the tubular tire would still be supporting the tube when the tire was
removed from the wheel.

Cheers


Sure but I’d never put slime in my tubes. 😊

I carry a small bottle of Stan's Tire Sealant IN CASE I puncture one of my tubular tires on a ride. I figure if I get a puncture on the second wheel I can put the Stan's into it and that should seal it until I get home. The ONE TIME I punctured both tires on a ride I didn't have any sealant and really wish I had had it then. I think of it as insurance - hope you never need but happy you have it if you do need it.

Cheers


I carry two spare tubes and a patch kit. Also a plastic 20 to use as a
boot. I've cut a tire recently but haven't had a flat in a couple of
years. Of course I expect to have one on my way home now that I've
mentioned it.
