Preparing tubs for the Summer

tgotb

My thinking is:
- Clean (done)
- Dry thoroughly indoors (done)
- Remove peeling bits of Aquasure
- Check gluing
- Reglue if necessary
- Reapply Aquasure
- Hang somewhere dry for 7 months
- Put back on bike
- Race

Anything I haven't thought of?

I tend to leave the checking glue job bit until August. That way I feel more confident they're still stuck on properly. I check a few times through the season as well. A check is a good 10 minute wrestle per wheel. Any sign of weakness, I peel off as much as possible and re-glue.

With Aquasure I find it doesn't stick for re-application, so I do a really good job when they are new and then forget it.

Keep it inflated to at least 10-15psi so the latex tube doesn't stick to itself and the side wall doesn't develop a bulge.

Defo don't leave your tubie wheels in the frame with the bike resting on them. Totally flat. And wet. For months. Guilty as charged
