I spent 2 months fully loaded touring through Europe on tubulars in the 1970s. I did it because I couldn't afford a second set of wheels. That tour dramatically increased my skills at rapidly repairing flat tires and sewing them back up again. It also increased my resolve to NEVER TO DO THAT AGAIN! Tubulars are a completely crazy choice for touring.
