The truth will out, sooner or later.
As for tubular on road I have glued up a ton of Donnelly LGG tubulars. They are a tubeless constructed tubular so that even though they function as a tubular when you do get a flat you can throw tubeless sealant in them and usually prolong their life by a long time.
This isn't something that works with standard tubulars? I haven't used them, until recently, since the 90s, and I'm dreading my first flat, but was hopeful I could just squirt a bit of sealant in when it happens. It occurred to me the sealant mightn't work unless it was already in the tyre though... And I wonder if the latex tubes play well with it...
