Thanks. Be interested to hear your experience with what tubs have worked for you commuting, and with which sealant. It's always broken glass from riding through cities that defeats the tubs I've used.
Ideally I'd want a gum wall tub as it's a vintage bike. Which rules out Conti Sprinters / Comps (which I've found to be nigh on indestructible previously on other bikes)

My experience of sealant has lead me to the position of pre-dosing the tub, then if it flats then take it straight off and stick a fresh one on - I commuted for a two year stretch on tubs (and am back commuting on them once again now) with sealant inside - I'd get to work and note the little white star shape on the tyre that indicated I'd had a hole that had been sealed at some point on the ride.
If the hole gets past the sealant then it's new tub time, rip off the old, on with the new, pump up and off.
