In a crt you get a free lap so not an issue.

As to using Stan' Sealent, I put it in a Vittoria tubular that was brand new and had a slow leak. It's worked great with that, and no problems.

I also put it in a clincher tube as prophylaxis. Got a puncture in that tube, and the selalant tried to seal it, but it was too big of hole, and it flatted anyway.

Also take a look at Zinn's recent column on sealents in Velonews.
