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.

denunciation of Presta valves, I suspect this may have been a mistake.

When you move from one country or continent to another there is always

Ask yourself how good "bacon" can be if 85% of Bernays-brainwashed American
tourists get by with a surrogate offerred by Danish spam producer Tulip.

Try /ventrèche/: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventr%C3%A8che_(porc).
It is quite hard to find anyway, even here.

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.

On my bicycles with clincher tires and tubes I too carry two spare tubes and a patch kit with a couple of cotton balls in it. On some of my bikes I carry a compact pump but on others where it fits I carry a full frame-fit pump.

Jeorg:
Heavy duty thorn resistant tubes pumped up to 110 lbs?
Why, oh why are you suffering that harsh ride?
Surely you would have no greater risk if snakebites with pressure of day, 90lb. Irless if your tires at 28mm or wider.

One guy flatted on today's club ride. To my amazement, another club
member pulled out a battery powered pump to inflate the guy's tire.

It was probably this one:
