Help fast, how to glue tubulars

oldwelshman · June 2007

Training wheels? How rich do you think I am? [:D]I only have these.
I was told in shop one hour on rim then another hour before racing 2 hours in total. Dhould be ok on outdoor track where banks are not steep?
How do you glue a tubular for track racing.
I just put glue on rim and letting dry for hour.
Do I then glue rim again and tubular or just the rim?
I am racing on 2 hours help fast [8D]

Blimey. And I thought replacing an inner tube was a hassle.

This Park Tools "how to" is a great guide and is the process that I follow for gluing my track tubs.

This is why I use tub tape. It seems to do the job just as well as glue as far as I can tell and is no more hassle than changing a tyre or tube on clinchers - if anything it's easier.

Easier but slower, glued up tub as less rr than a taped tub so some people have found.

I was also advised not to use tape for track racing due to the banks, especially on velodrome.
I had to borrow a wheel in the end !!
Missed two races, won one and got œ10 for 2 primes in another so it might start to pay fro the new tub [:D]
