glue and tubulars

[twowheels]

some tires--especially some of the cx's--have a lump in the stem area because of the overlap of the basetape. here's my solution; mount it, ride it and forget about it. you won't feel it. but you will feel how nice the cx's ride. they are one of favorite high performance tubulars, as they are a great combination of performance, durability and value (expecially if you get a bundle from overseas).

1 tube. Discuss.

...is enough to do your first layer on the base tapes of an FMB or a Dugast. :D

i seem to always use a lot more mastik than most of these other guys.

the problems seem to occur when you don't use enough.

Thanks twowheels. That sounds like a solution I can live with.

If this is a ploy to get me to race more cross it's working.
