There's always inner tube sealer. I don't know how well it works with road bikes but on my mountain bike it's been great. A couple of times I didn't even know I had punctured a tube until a week later when I wanted to ride again. The only downside from my perspective is that the sealant tends to gum up the valve.
This summer I've decided to abate any effort to run and starting biking again. I've resurrected my 10 speed with a quasi refirb and it's operating like a champ; smooth and refined. I originally got this Road Ace circa 1980. Everything is original except for the gum walls. There is a most excellent 4.3 mile bike/walk path that our town installed and you can't get much better in terms of isolation and a near perfect road surface. I'm rediscovering the biking experience and must say, it's awesome. No more pounding as it were. It's a Maruishi Road Ace 303. Need to add a few more safety pieces and then it's compete.
Love classic bikes! Suggest you rotate that front QR skewer, so that the lever is parallel with the fork leg.
