How to carry tire sealant for longer rides on tubulars ?
Hi,
so i recently jumped on the tubular train, and i am paranoid of getting stuck out with a flat. I heard tyre sealant would be a good solution, hence my question:
How do you guys carry your spare tire sealant on your rides? (No, i am not talking about a 50 ml stans bottle as sold. That's not really economical, when i can get a 450mL for a fraction of the cost).
Do you have a syringe filled with sealant on the go? I'd appreciate pictures of your ingenious setups
BR
P!

Maybe spring for one 2oz Stan's and refill as needed? 
Leak proof and measured. Don't let the possibility of sealant working discourage you from carrying your spare tubular.

I just ordered some 1 and 2 oz bottles from amazon that would work
I reccomend Caffee Latex over stans or orange seal.
you will get more response in the totally tubular section in c&v Totally Tubular

I too have been using the Mariposo Caffe Latex in my rear tubs, although I think their formula is not real latex. Still, I actually carry 2 spare sewups, one under the saddle and another in my pocket.
