A few drops spurted out of the hole, but it sealed after about 2 secs.

I've done about 900 miles since then and haven't had any pressure drops, so either it's working very well
or it's had nothing to do.

I didn't know Rubinos came in a tubular version. Wonder if they ride similarly to the old CX and CG I used to race on. I'm kind of committed to tubeless for now with the new wheels, but will keep this in mind in the future.
