Riding on flat tubular tire?
I've read that you can ride on a flatted tubular tire if you're careful.
Just wondering if doing that for a few kilometres destroys the tire. Does it? Cheers |

Cheers Usually yes, the edges fray but usually no rim damage. But hey it was already flat! The first time I did it, at severely cold temperatures, I just wanted to get someplace warm as soon as possible. But on reflection it didn't seem to have much downside. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

On a long ride yesterday my Silca pump gave up the ghost in a rather spectacular manner. Most of the air went out of the tire as I was topping it up. Fortunately it wasn't too far a walk home, the weather was nice and the birds were singing. I'll carry my Zefal pump on that bike from now on too. BTW, do you sell the 26.8 seat tube Zefal pump clips? Cheers |

Riding on flat tubular tire?
Some fifteen years ago I got a nasty flat about twenty kilometers from home. It was a sunday afternoon and there was no chance to buy a replacement.
I tried to stop motorists in the hope to have a lift. No success. I even stopped a Police patrol car but they said they were already out of their assigned route. I then walked for about a kilometer before deciding I should pedal home. So did I,very carefully,especially when taking turns, and safely. Once I got home I learned from a canadian acquaintence that, with a more conventional clincher tyre,one could profitably stuff the casing with dry grass and menage to ride with better comfort.
