I need a spare tub for an epic sportive. A mate has a veloflex carbon that is pretty New, but has been repaired With sealant. It has quite a big cut which I could probably glue. He also has a Schwalbe one, which was repaired With sealant, but was ridden a little while flat so has some side wall damage (which leaked sealant apparantly). The hole in this one is tiny.
I'm going to pump both up and see that they hold air. Then take the one that holds air best. If both are fully Sealed, I'll take the glued veloflex.
Is my thinking sound?
Is a tub With sealant in a bad idea for a spare?
