I've been riding sew-ups for a while but only yesterday got a flat
that

I had to swap out and ride on an unglued tire/tyre for 15 miles. Everything went OK, but I took the corners quite carefully. I was wondering how careful you need to be under these conditions?

it's only the corners where you can roll the tyre right?
When I finally got home I found the other tyre was also getting flat. $110 for a training ride! How well does the sealant do on pin size holes?
I was hoping to just ride tubs for training and racing, but at $55 a flat, I can't afford that. Does anyone else do this these days and do they have a working solution?
TIA, Pete
Preglue the spare, find somebody that fixes them and have them show you how. NOT hard, not a black art.
Oh yeah? Now what am I supposed to do with this goat?
Back to the topic at hand, in 100,000+ miles of riding sewups (and having had my share of flats), I've never pre-glued my spare. I've never rolled one, though admittedly I've never, say, descended the Stelvio that way.
