I got ran off the road a few weeks ago, hit a curb, and my tubular went instantly flat. I was more than a little upset - my Vittoria Corsa Evo CX had maybe 200 miles on it, and... boom. flat.
I just finally got around to getting the tire off, and found the cause of the flat - a tear by the valve stem. Is there any way to fix a tear at the stem on a tubular? I know it's either impossible or ridiculously difficult to fix an innertube, but on an $80 tubular, I'm willing to go through a lot more trouble.
