Experiments with Cyclocross Tubulars
Round 2 – Gluing with the Barnett Bicycle Institute Method.
After the trying the Tufo gluing tape, I next glued the tires on in accordance with the Barnett method – three layers of Gommitalia glue on the rim, one layer on the base tape. The tires were mounted after the last glue layer had dried to tacky. The glue join was infinitely better than the tape. However, Dermont has managed to roll off one of the tires racing, so next we’ll go to the full Greg Reain method.
