How do you pack your spare Tubular for the road?

Let's see some pictures. :D

It's a 25, Sprinter Gatorskin - doesn't pack up as neatly as yours I will admit:

Arundel Tubi for a single spare. I like to keep my spare free of road grime (yeah, I know I could wrap it in an old sock or race number and then use a Binda strap...), plus I can tuck a valve core remover and a couple of hexs in the side pocket. Tight fit to get the spare in, but it comes out fine. Small bottle of Stan's in the jersey pocket.

When I'm going far away or am paranoid and do the belt and suspenders approach I'll use a Jaand Dual with two spare tubs in it. A bit larger, but it works. With Stan's I'd have to triple flat to be stranded...

(And yes, I'm shameless in taking opportunities to post my Hampsten, both current and prev versions)

I use one water bottle and i out my spare in the seat tube water bottle cage.

[denapista]

Tufo tires are pure crap, but they roll up super small and slim for a spare.
I found a roll of velcro and have been using that to secure the spare on my saddle rails.. I had some old Campy toe straps, but I can't find them. Campy toe strap is just so classy.

[guido]

On the spare wheel, on the roof of the team car.

[pbarry]

Jersey pocket.

It's a 25, Sprinter Gatorskin - doesn't pack up as neatly as yours I will admit:I'm gonna turn him in: he lifted that from Velominati. http://www.velominati.com/tradition/european-posterior-tubular-eptb/comment-page-1/

looks like that article suggests a 19mm tufo to keep the size down. I've googled this one before (that's how I knew the origin of the pic) and have seen it suggested elsewhere to use 19mm tufo track tubs. guess it depends if you want to limp home or keep riding.

[etu]

thanks weisan pal for another timely thread. i am using a water bottle style carrier, but with summer on its way, i am going to want a different system!

[denapista]

I have a Tufo S33 or something rather. It's tougher than nails and I'm not sure why anyone would ever run this brand of tire on their bike. I popped a Veloflex and tossed it on and finished my ride and hit multiple PR's with the spare on. It was even hard to get off when I got a new set of tires.

[terry]

Wrapped in an old sock with co2, strapped to the saddle with an old Binda toe strap.

[Neil]

^^^I have both tubs dosed with sealant, but if one of them does encounter a non-survivable event I want to be able to keep going at the same pace as before, hence the full size (plus size to some) spare.

[cderalow]

when i was running tubs...

velcro strapped up under the seat.

as awesome as the ride was.... i had a string of flats that left me wanting days of clinchers... so i sold mine.

[Jaq]

I was doing the proper roll (circular), wrap in an old race number and strap under the seat....

But I've lost two spares this way while rolling over s---ty roads, the second one just this past weekend coming home from the Ride with No Name (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=184582).

So going back to fold in quarters + Campy strap.

[Kirk007]

Been a long winter - I wear it like a life ring around my waist.

In the summer I go with the Jand tubasti

Kirk pal, you won the Mr. Tubular competition hands down, there's no contest.

I have a couple reproduction Cinelli tubular holders from David Beck (https://www.flickr.com/photos/68123172@N03/albums/). I don't have any pix handy of mine (well, I probably do - somewhere), but David's way more organized than I am and has a Flickr album (https://www.flickr.com/photos/68123172@N03/albums/72157632570121040) which shows them. I have no idea how to link to just a photo on Flickr, so I can't embed a visual reference here. They are quite nice, however.

Very nice! Are they still available and do you have contact info/pricing/etc?

[smontanaro]

I sent David a note, but haven't heard back from him yet. I don't want to presume it would be okay to give you his email, but you can contact him through FlickrMail.

Folded up and a leather toe strap to hold it on.

Folded up and a leather toe strap to hold it on.

Me too,,I wrap the one on my wet weather bike in a sock..use a Campagnolo toe strap. HINT-take these out every once in a while and air 'em up a bit..I get so few flats, I worry that the tight strap may hurt them..Plus a small metal tire iron and $5 along with the tire wrap.

[bking]

roll it tight, wrap with duct tape: always good to have some duct tape around. fits into my jersey pocket.

[MarkC]

Roll tight then stuff it into one of the little cloth bags that Thompson provides for stems / seat posts. Add a tire iron in the bag and then toe strap (*) under the seat.

The cloth bag protects the tire from chafing from the toe strap and keeps road crud off it too.

(*) Old worn Binda of course...
