http://www.tirealert.com/ This company in Clearwater Fl replaces the tubes in tubular tires. At $20 for the first tire they are getting expensive, but.......In my experience, the resulting repaired tire is going to fit looser on the rim than a new tubular of the same make. But, they replace the tube, restitch and glue on new base tape. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
