A few months ago I picked up a few pairs of NOS Clement Paris-roubaix tires. On at least one pair the base tape is beginning to come away from the carcass of the tire. Doing a search of the archives there seems to be 2 schools of thought as to how to repair this, liquid latex, or Tubasti (or similiar glue). Given that I plan on actually riding on these tires what is the safest method for fixing them? note that there are large portions of the tape coming away from the carcass, not just small sections.
