Tubulars for regular riding?

THis is SOP for finding leaks in _tubes_ however, a tubular tire has a tube within a tire, so the leak you see in the tire possibly could be in a different place than the leak in hte tube...what a drag to unsew the tire and then find the leak is somewhere else. Does that happen?

lotek and delicious, I found a
on the web, but it's terrible. I'll do a little more googling, but I think you're right that there may not be pictures.
Does anyone have Glenn's Manual of Bicycle Repair? That book had everything, including how to fix three speed hubs and coaster brake hubs and how to hot patch a puncture.

I suck at sewing too, but I figure it's not really that critical as long as it holds.

It's bad enough we male bikers are made fun of about tights, leg shaving, and other "fancy lad"/"Nancy Boy" sounding stuff, but we can always say that even tough old sailors had to do sewing on the big sailing ships of the past!
