Subject: [CR]Opinion please... Tubular tire tape

Greetings all...

I really like riding tubulars... Gluing them up, not so much. What do you all think of using tire tape...? The Tufo stuff. Have you used it? Did you like it? The regular or extreme stuff? I read about doing light glue on the rim and tire with the tape... Does that help? Or does it just make it more messy?

Like I said... I like tubulars... Allot.

I've rolled one off before... Didn't like the resulting crash at all.

Is "glue" no longer a necessary evil?
