"I am building up a late 70s style race bike for fun. I am tempted to use sew ups, but given my complete lack of experience, stories such as yours have me thinking maybe not.
Glad you are still with us and riding." Thank you. I'm still riding sew-ups on the Bertin, only now I make absolutely sure they are glued on properly. After every ride I clean and inspect the tires and rims. I think that tubular tires are as safe as clinchers If they are mounted correctly. The tire I rolled was not even glued on. It was a new tire I mounted without glue to stretch it, then two weeks later I forgot it wasn't glued.
