- Pre-glued spare : more than enough stickiness for you to not worry about it
- Non Pre-glued spare : nearly the same. The air pressure plus glue on the rim is more than enough to take you home or finish the race. The only situations where you must be careful is violent braking, or very sharp turns with high angle. Means I would not be going top speed descending the Izoard with it ; does not mean I would not descend (!), but I would just be more cautious.
- Riding flat with tubs : err.... yes but not really. A flatted tub usually loses pressure much slower than a tire+inner tube, so you can ride with it half a mile or even more if it is a slow leak, but when it's flat it's flat. Yes you can still ride as the glue can keep the tub on the rim, but I would not do it. I saw a guy finish a race with a flatted tub with approx 7 or 8 kms left, he did finish but his carbon rim did not really like it...
OK, thanks for the info!!!
