Hey all.

i recently acquired a set of race wheels that take Tubular tires (Singles) i know that you have to glue the tires on. If on race day you get a flat, where can you store your spare tubular? and the gas applicatiors? is there an "all in one" rig for your bike? i have seen some weird racks on bikes at IM races but ive always raced on clinchres and the LBS does not seem to stock anything.

thanks

Here is a great website for tubular tires and supplies. Tubulars really are not too bad to repair during a race and don't require that much "gear".

Hope this helps. Even if you don't use this brand, it will at least give you an idea of what is out there. Also search their site a bit because they have some excellent instructions on how to repair a tubular if it goes flat, etc. Good luck!

I use an xlab flatwing set up with straps to hold my tubular space and CO2 on the bike
