    Buying some new Corima carbon tubulars. Definitely going to go quicker with them :pac:

    But does anyone know of a decent shop which will fit the tyre?

    And what about sealant? Do people add in case of a flat or after the event?

    Thanks.

    Get tub glue and stick them on, handy enough to do. YouTube ftw

    From what I hear you can send them off and get them opened and fixed

    Never used sealant but then only used tubs for racing not training

    Easy enough to fit. At least 3 thin layers of glue on the rim with a min of one on the tyre.
    A little bit of air to centre.
    Let the air out and roll the wheel around the ground with a lot of pressure to seat the tyre fully on the rim and move out any trapped air.
    Some folk put sealant in BUT if you let the tyre deflate fully the sealant can stick the tube together and wreck it.
