INSTALLING TUBULAR TIRES IN 2021 WITH NO GLUE?! (ARE THEY WORTH THE WORK?) SPECIALIZED ROVAL CLX 50

I have been using tubulars with double tape exclusively for the last 5 years. I go on long rides and I do not even carry a spare, only the pit stop from Vittoria foam sealant in case that a flat. No more clincher or tubless for me. They ride amazing, last longer, less flats even with really low tire pressure and are very easy to install and replace. You should give them a try.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea that vittoria foam sealent works great, I always recommended it for tubular users!!!! great feedback and enjoy those rides!!!

[@waynosfotos]

I have run 25mm tubulars at 40 psi no probs (rough surface), you can also pump them up rock hard, no limitations like you have with clinchers. Just a more versatile system.

[@talibe801]

Tubulars are the best choice,for riding,short rides long rides whatever..

[@MrMars121]

Hi do you put the sealant after you should have the puncture or prior?

[@shawnoconnors3645]

@@MrMars121 with the vittoria spray we are speaking of , it's for after a puncture. sealant for prior the puncture exist but i think nobody uses them on tubulars because, if you ride tubulars , one of the big properties of it is weight , they are around 200gr lighter than normal clinchers so , ruining this advantage with sealant .... if you fear punctures a lot , go with clinchers tires. If you still want tubulars , go with the continental gators , they are reinforced ;)

[@DMcTyke]

After a lifetime (50 years) of riding clinchers, 5 years ago I built up a classic steel Colnago with tubular wheels and fitted tubs using the tape method as shown in the video (although 60 psi is too much pressure for removing the backing tape, as you demonstrated). Five years on and not a single puncture despite having covered around 20,000 miles (yet I still carry a couple of spare tubs just in case!). The ride quality is sublime (on Veloflex or Vittoria) and I have confidence to descend and corner at high speed. The tyres seem to last longer and are impervious to the bits of road grit that find their way inside clinchers and cause most of the punctures I used to have.

[@xtiandelacruz1021]

Can i put sealant directly in tubular tire even im not puncture or i will put sealant the time im puncture only?

[@chrisjames1924]

Tubs are definitely best for safety and ride quality/speed. Removing tape from rims can take hours if you want a really clean rim. Also, tape for carbon rims is 4 x as much for no other reason than Velox arbitrarily decided their previous tape was all of a sudden not compatible for carbon rims and made you buy a new product instead - that costs 4 x as much. Needless to say I still use the ‘aluminium only’ tape, as does almost everyone I know.

[@Bikes-guitars]

Personally I prefer them when I’m riding in the mountains for safety, a flat tub stays on the rim where a punctured clincher will be off the rim way before a rider is able to slow the bike, an accident at 50-60mph descending could be life changing if not life ending, and with products like Vittoria pit stop or muc off B.A.M a punctured tub is usually soon reinfected and sealed without even taking a wheel out of the bike, then there is the feel of them, the bike feels more alive on tubs, not to mention the huge weight saving of tubular rims, around 200-300 grams of rotational mass making it accelerate better, brake better and handle better 👌

[@GCPerformance18]

yea for sure this is the better option for saftey, but for where I am at an no high speeds like that just self propelled flat roads there is not as much worry

[@mlee6050]

I got experience at that, I was just before or on top ditching beacon when a guy said I had a flat but didn't think at the time, went down hill at 43-63mph forgot speed I reached with flat front as I had tubular and no way to sort it, also London to Brighton, I had this stupid woman cycling just beside me, she didn't move over enough so I had to go to the right of a bollard in the road so at 27mph with 30mm carbon wheels and 22mm tubular and carbon frame I had to squeeze in a 6" gap, so know bike cost me £4k and was not insured What I hate most is in London and Brighton you go on green, on rest of the route they tell you to go through red

[@mlee6050]

Forgot to add my rims have prime rd010, CX ray spokes so with berd spokes be lighter but about 1500g when cassette and disc on them before tyre is nice (weight of both wheels)

[@user-xn2cl9dy4q]

l‘m using tubulars as long as I ride road bikes (about 10 years now). After I had three rim failures in a short row with carbon clincher rims on my mountain bike (one rim got wider in one spot, two rims broke… not catastrophic though) I decided go tubular with carbon rims on my road bike. Especially as I use rim brakes. The combination of a heated up side wall and the pressure of a non tubular tyre (with or without tube) is frightening to me. Over all I made good experiences. I use Tufo tape with different tyres. It’s easy to apply as seen in the video and about anybody should be able to do it by themselves. Changing a tyre is way more work than just changing an inner tube or changing a tubeless setup but if you have a bit of experience it’s a job of may be 2 hours. And yes: You do get the Tufo tape of the rim just by pulling it off and, if you want to be über-correct, you can remove residual glue by tapping the removed still sticky tape on the residual glue to take it off. I never glued with cement. For me tape is superior because 1) you don’t have to sand the carbon rim before you apply the tape 2) it’s clean 3) it’s faster (the whole cement gluing process takes some days if done properly) 4) you can go for a ride right after the work is done (at least if you use Tufo tape) So as long as I use carbon rims, especially in a rim brake setup, I‘ll use tubulars and Tufo tape. If however I was using ALUMINUM rims like my wife does I’d use clincher rims with regular tyres and a superlight tube (like Schwalbe Aerothan or Tubolito). The safety aspect mentioned in comments above might be relevant for racers going downhill with speeds above 60 mph… a normal rider should be able to stop safely if you feel your tyre is going flat. Usually tyres don’t explode… So for me it’s more or less a question of the rim material and the brakes you use. And if you’re into that thing: A tubular wheelset will always be lighter compared to a clincher set… rim or disc brake. And just a small tip: If you have the time you should mount your tubular tyre on the rim without any adhesive, pump it up to 100 psi and let it sit over night. Take it off, apply the tape on the rim as shown and put the tyre on again (as shown). Like this the tubular will slip on the rim easier and it‘s also easier to get it straight before removing the plastic liner and finally fixing the tyre.

[@ericpmoss]

I love tubulars. The ride is simply nicer. I have very few issues with flats, and since trying the Donnelly cross-sized tubulars that use tubeless construction, I have zero issues with mounting them straight or adding some sealant if I ever do get a flat. I haven't yet, though, so aside from the admitted pain of gluing, I'm 100% happy.

[@GCPerformance18]

yea and I mean the consumer really doesnt have to worry abopiut the pain of gluing they just have to knkwo it takes time and plan for it

[@jjschmiedlin8813]

Still ride tubulars...and always will! Still the best feel, ride, and flat protection. I also use the Vittoria sealant, and never carry anything. Used to glue them, but the Effetto Mariposa Carogna tape is so good and so quick that it isnt worth the extra curing time. If you havent ridden tubulars, you have no idea what you are missing!

[@MrSzwarz]

I used tubular East German (Made in DDR) tires called Schlauchreifen on my first Polish steel road bike "Jaguar" : ) They costesm monthly wage at that time, I you had to repair them by opening from reverses side and glue patch, then to put them together.

[@waynosfotos]

Yep! Run them all the time, best system, it is just different so people are put off by the glue mess. But tape works and is so easy.

[@waynosfotos]

Don't need to wait with tape, just pump it up hard, done and ride.

[@GCPerformance18]

very nice!! yea they work well I didnt know about putting the tape on and riding right away, I mean I know you can but I thought they recommended a wait time

[@waynosfotos]

@@GCPerformance18 never read this?? And i have been running tubulars for ever. I do have one set of clinchers for my rain bike cos i couldn't find a high end ally rim tubular. I hate changing them. Seems so difficult compared to tubulars. I do agree the glue stinks and you end up like spiderman. Did this many moons ago, but the tape is a game changer these days.

[@GCPerformance18]

Yea I have done the glue a lot and it’s so shitty!! The tape was a game changer for sure, and I always tell my customers not to ride at all but they are full kitted just got done with a group ride and need to get back to there car and stubborn so I set it and tell them and then they just go slowly like 5 mph

[@violafreak14]

I have a tubular set for races and I just adore how smooth they are, and because I know I’m safe. I definitely don’t encourage tubulars if it’ll be your only wheel, and I don’t take these wheels on long touring rides.

[@GCPerformance18]

sounds like a good plan I mean for sure if you can afford both sets then that works great

[@cnay2983]

They did a test with the pros - they couldn't tell the difference even tho they said tubular ran smoother. Really no point in having tubulars.

[@8rk]

I still train daily on tubulars. Good tubulars and good clincher tires are pretty much same price nowadays. I use tub tape as well so it's super easy to install / get off. I enjoy riding super exotic but much cheaper (now) tubular rims that are VERY light. Would recommend it!

[@8rk]

Also absolutely no offense to your awesome content but I recommend this video to everyone who needs to tape tubs. It's mostly similar but there's a couple good tips that make it easier. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6m2iqRoqL2Djas (Also Caden wheels are insanely good)

[@GCPerformance18]

very nice and yea tubulars are becoming more affordable I think because not as many people buy them which makes for a nice bargin wheelset for the money if you dont mind the hassle

[@mlee6050]

Is tape good enough for it to not roll off? I just relax in my commute at 27mph, barely leave 53/11 gear even on the short hills, had pain spending 8 hours removing glue as how a mechanic showed and described it takes like 5 minutes a wheel

[@tbone-ip5fi]

Thanks for these workshop videos - don't worry about the length, it's interesting to watch!

[@GCPerformance18]

Awesome, thank you! I always wondered if people jsut enjoyed them lol but thnaks for that

[@81caasi]

A tubular flat tire is less common (no pinched flats cause the rim shape has no edge like clincher rims). And since the use of sealant, in case of a flat, just put some sealant in through the valve core similar to tubless, and it will seal itself, easy. Todays tech is pretty good expensive clinchers can have a supple ride, however the ride quality of tubular are a special thing: silky smooth and fast. Because of the different shape of the rim you have more feel of the road, and they're lighter (less rim material) and therefor faster for acceration and better for climbing. Totally worth it if you don't mind learning a new installation process which is no big deal. I have tubulars on all my road bikes, one tubless setup on my CX bike, and clinchers on my everyday work bike.

[@GCPerformance18]

thanks so much for the info!!! yea I mean tubulars are a nice tire and feel super smooth but not worth it for the average consumer who dont want to deal with it

[@beltonhogue]

Hello, are you still riding the tubulars? Has anything changed?

[@aldorossetto9264]

I've been gluing tubulars since the late '70's. Aside from the method of gluing/taping, a common theme or lack of theme to be more precise I've noticed on this subject while watching videos on this platform is the inattention to the subject of preparation of the tire/rim prior to the installation. Tires need to be dry fitted to the rim. This is the opportunity where one can see how the specific tire and rim interface. Does this tire fit the rim contour properly? Does the base tape around the valve sit and seat properly into the valve stem hole and sit flat down onto the rim without creating an elevated gap and hump? Is the integrity of the tire intact? The tire should be inflated to desired riding pressure and observed for a day or two to make sure there is not a leak from the tube nor stem. Is the casing warped in any way and is the tread fairly true without defects? Once this has passed preliminary inspection, then the final installation may continue. If one continues to use the same tire/rim combo, this process can be accelerated a bit. If a defect is discovered after a tire is glued/taped, the manufacture warrany is void.

[@gibbo3783]

Great video. I’m keen to try tubulars for no other reason than to try them, and this has answered most of my questions. Thanks!

[@dhanso928]

tubular si! Tape, no a pain to get off. Gluing one takes me about 1/2 hr, total. I carry a worn out one as a spare but I rarely have to use it as I put Slime in. Works for me. I do have some clinchers for days when I might hit nasty wet roads. cheap and light rim rims are plentiful and the tires are same same $ as the other options. But....the internet thinks those are old school..👍

[@robocalifornia]

I train on tubulars and clinchers. I like change my tires often to avoid flats and look for good performance to cost ratios. 25mm Vittoria Rally tubulars can be had for $30 all day and are great. 19mm pre-glued Tufo emergency tire under the saddle held on with a leather toe strap 🇧🇪 Gluing is an art and takes practice though.

With the improvements we’re seeing in tubeless today, I don’t feel tubulars are worth it any more when clinchers are easier and more cost efficient and tubeless gives you the strength and the weight savings. Maybe if you’re racing there’s something to be said for tubulars but I don’t think I’ll ever buy a pair

[@fergusdenoon1255]

I think tubeless is actually heavier than running latex inner tubes?

[@waynosfotos]

I have to disagree, run tubulars all the time, they are significantly lighter and safer as the tyre can't leave the rim. They also can be ridden on a flat tyre slowly, i have done it for 5km. Only negative is the tyres are a little more expensive and harder to get, but i keep a stash. It is really easy to change a tyre with tape. For flats, sealant can fix a flat or just rip of the tyre and stretch on a new one (carry a spare tyre). Don't need any glue or tape to get you home. Just don't scrape the pedals. Lol

That is a total myth. They are even more reliable than clinchers as you don't get pinch flats and tube rub flats, (tube folds) You can fix them with sealant most of the time, if not, stretch on a new tyre. You can fold a tubular so it fits in your jersey pocket. They are a safer and better system. Yes clinchers have got better, but they still do not have all the benefits of tubulars. The biggest advantage with clinchers is they are easier to get and cheaper for the tyres.

If they had a accident they may try to blame you the installer. Something also to be aware of over time, a year or so, the glue can become brittle and the tyre can roll off as it is not soft and sticky anymore. It takes a year or two for the glue to get brittle. I would also recommend people to re glue every year. I know people use their tubulars as race tyres for years because they do so little miles, and don't re-glue for years and years.

Will this tape (apparently 18mm) work on a Dura Ace 9100 (28mm) rim with 25mm tyres?

[@haydengutiw]

I love tubular, but as a broke cyclist my wallet hates them😂

[@angelitoarocha1072]

I ride tubular and they are fantastic can't fault them no more pins flat.

[@GCPerformance18]

[@vincesorrentino7871]

I run Tubulars not a problem add abit of Sealant off you go

[@GCPerformance18]

hell yea

[@jgg8215]

how much sealant u put inside tub?

[@vincesorrentino7871]

@@jgg8215 3 Oz works for me

[@ighfirlee]

yeah. I always have a small sealant bottle in my back pocket and co2 cannister. Best thing about punctures on tubulars is that I don't have to take the wheels off to apply sealant after punctures.

[@xtiandelacruz1021]

Can i put sealant in tubular tire even im not puncture same like a tubeless setup or the actual puncture only then apply sealant

[@rarosarioc11]

How wide are that rim and the tape?

[@Red-ju4mi]

Damn I woulda added a layer of glue on the tire and rim anyway lol

[@juanalvarez746]

[@GCPerformance18]

[@prapramonks1625]

[@dirtyteeth0]

[@GCPerformance18]

[@onilovni1234]

I used to ride tubulars 6 years ago and this video gives me PTSD.

[@GCPerformance18]

lmfaoooo I know its an old topic

[@stephenang499]

Shouldn't it be deep rim wheels instead of deep dish wheels?

[@GCPerformance18]

i dont know lol did I say it wrong?

[@jvogel431]

Dish refers to the left to right position of the rim relative to the center of the hub. And, “section” refers to the depth of the rim profile.

[@builtbypi2276]

Hi ! Can tubular tape be installed over glue residue or do I need a fresh wheel for it?

[@GCPerformance18]

yea jsut remove some of the glue or most of it and try to clean it, and then go ahead and apply the tape
