Once on the road, it opened up again. I stopped, put the tub down (6 O'clock) , the leak sealed , only to open again. I inspected the tub, and found nothing at the puncture site . So, in the trash , the tire went . I am, now using Tufo sealant in my tubs.
Thanks so much for your replies.
I wish I could help, but just installed my first set of tubulars, so I know little. I just wanted to say that posts like yours (and their replies) are like gold for me, because they help me out in what to expect (in this case, the potential performance of the Stan's).
