My cat weighs 20 lbs.

No flat repair?! Will they put on my spare? Where have the service industries gone these days?!

I carry two tubes when I ride but that’s because all 3 bikes I ride (2 singles and a tandem) have 20”/406 F and 26”/559 R wheels. Emergency kit includes a Road Morph pump and self-adhesive patches. Very few flats due to good luck and tires with anti-puncture features. Did suffer a pinch flat with sidewall damage a few months ago - wasn’t paying attention and hit a nasty spot of concrete road surface decay that I knew about in a nearby neighborhood.
Not expecting spouse’s e-assist Trek to flat since putting new tires on it - Schwalbe Marathon e-Plus which seem way over the top.

For the most part, tubular tires are not tubeless. Tufo does make tubeless tubular tires and with those sealant would work as well as in road tubeless tires.

Yes, which was why I had asked that question before proceeding... because I wasn't sure if sealant would seal up punctures in the (usually latex) tubes very well. That makes sense that the Tufos would seal up more like tubeless, although I never liked the ride quality of those. The Rubinos Aardwolf mentioned don't say which type of tube they use (the description is obviously recycled from their clincher tire, mentioning a folding bead), but I suspect they use butyl at that price point.

I run Tubolito X Gravel TPU tubes and while they are thicker than normal TPU tubes they are very flat resistant.. I carry one extra tube in my saddle bag along with a patch kit. I also carry tire levers, one Co2 cartridge and have a small frame pump..

I assume Lyft or Uber (never used either) might pick you up if you put in the notes section (if they have one) that you have a bike that also needs to be transported.. I say if you think you might need their service to contact either company and ask if that's something they'd even do..

I get it. The difference between inner tubes sealing and tubeless/tubeless tubular tires sealing well, especially at high road pressures lies in the interface between the layer where the high pressure and ambient air air pressure happens. With a conventional inner tube, you have a very stretchy inner layer that is apart from the tire layer. So, if the inner tube is punctured, sealant has to repair a sketchy hole. If on the other hand, the air impervious layer of the inside of the tire is punctured, the air has to escape though a hole bounded by a very non stretchy hole. I mean, if that hole is big enough all bets are off, but the difference between a stretchy inner tube and a non stretchy tire carcass cannot be ignored

I have often wondered what it means when a manufacturer states: "tubeless ready"

From my years living in Arizona I still carry two tubes AND a Rema patch kit and a Park self-sticky tire patch in my seat bag. I've not had more than two flats on a ride but I knew plenty of people in AZ that more than two. Two tubes is pretty standard out there. I'm back in North Carolina now but I still carry that kit in my bag.

Chuck bike in woods, come back later with car.

Fill in the gap.

- Do you carry more than 1 spare tube? - Carry no tube
- Do you carry a patch kit? - Yes with Vulcanizing Cement and Super Glue
- Will Uber pick up you and the bike? - Yes but, $$$$$$$

AAA benefit is not in every state. Yes, it's only transportation and not flat repair. Mileage may vary by state and/or AAA level of coverage you have.

Here's the research I looked at when I picked Orange Seal to put in my tubular tyres:

He tested road clinchers with tubes (both latex and butyl).

It's a good read.

Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for about a year ago. I'm committed to tubeless for a while now, but I'll keep this in mind for the future. Still enjoy riding tubulars most, and the only thing that kept me from riding them daily was the PIA to fix a flat.

Yep, almost exactly my situation.

My Holdsworth Avanti came with scruffy Mavic Monthlery Route tubular rims, I didn't know what tubulars were.
Built some Mavic MA2 clincher rims in case I needed to go somewhere that might involve fixing a flat on the road.
Rebuild the Monthlery Route with Campy hubs and stainless spokes, and polished them up.
Then I had a flat and discovered Orange Seal.
I've been riding tubular exclusively for the last 900 miles, and looking very fine.

As I have stated many times I have a trunk pack on both my bike and trike that is a mini bike shop, I dont like to walk home. I carry tubes, patch kits, CO2 inflator, a mini pump, and tire boots.
