This is a balanced stitch that uses one thread and can stretch longitudinally. " Can someone please post a drawing of what this should look like ? Just can't picture it... Louis

How much time do you think it takes? The only tubular I ever binned was one that was torn apart by a piece of rock. Still recovered the latex inner tube and the valve core though. Cheap, huh?

Ciao, Judging by the tales of woe and re-works on this thread it takes many people quite a bit of time. More time than throwing the tub away even for the most proficient I'm guessing.

I repaired and glued first tubular when I was 12. Old USSR tubulars. I remember, only one tub blew due to repair.

But I'd like to use it as a spare. Is it possible to put sealant in the tube, inflate the tire, and then deflate and fold it to use as a spare ? Sorry if it's been discussed elsewhere... EDIT: Found some litterature obn the subject. Guess it's a big no,no.... Louis

If anyone of you guys have punctured tubulars that still have life in it, instead of trashing them you can always send them to me. I punctured 3 tubs in 3 weeks and at that rate I will run out of my budget and time repairing them. I punctured almost new EVO CX in todays race first 200 meters. Pissed.

I have had the exact same experience 2 weeks ago : punctured a veloflex criterium after 150 km. So angry
