I've had 2 of them spontaneously stop holding air on 2 different wheels. First the rear, and then the front. No punctures. No damage to tire. Never ridden outside, only on wood surface indoors. The first time it happened while training. The rear tire had a big leaky sidewall. Sealant helped...for maybe one ride. I got Veloflex to replace it after bugging them. Then the front tubular went on me in the middle of a race. From 140 psi to about 40 psi in the duration of a 4-lap race. Both tires (Records) had less than 800km on them. I know others praise them, and I've had good look with their clinchers, but really not interested in spending another $240 to be a lab rat again for some questionable QC (you can find many others reporting about leaky Veloflex online as well). I will look for something different. Ride quality was great but wondering when your tubulars are going to spontaneously crap out on you is not worth it.
