We were just discussing tubulars a few days ago. I forget the brand, but he runs a little bit of Stan's in his, and doesn't get flats. I have a pair of Tufos that have managed to stay pumped to the moon for years it seems. I am sure those tires have outlasted the tubular cement by about 5 years!
Clement/Donnelly are tubeless tubulars that are made by the Tufo factory and can run with sealant. We usually glue them and run them until there is a flat then we put sealant in them. After they have sealant in them they seem to turn the compound a bit harder within a year or two from that. Still runnable by all means but not as supple.
