Martin, Tufo tubulars can't be repaired in the conventional way because they're tubeless. Tufo sells a sealant that works for small leaks like you're describing. I've found that Slime, a sealant for MTB tubes, works even better.

The .1% is probably where I got the flat, testing a gear by my house. Never had tubulars before. Can these be repaired effectively to feel safe riding on the track? Haven't been able to locate the leak either, even after pumping up to 160+. It's an extremely slow leak. Put soapy water on the tire too and couldn't see any bubbles. Plenty of references on-line on how to repair; is it the opinion of others that it's best left to those with experience? Or is it common to just chuck the tire if it's used on the track? Thanks, Marty |
