Lotto NL-Jumbo Team Mechanic mounts Corsa Tubular at Giro

[@SirNickettyNox]

Did my first time effort of gluing tubulars to my front and rear wheels using Mastic Pro. Only required one coat of glue to the rim and one to the tyre base tape, which is different to what others seem to do. It went reasonably well except for the glue getting onto the rim side walls and breaking surfaces. Contrary to what the instructions say its impossible to wash off the glue with water, did the best I could but it looks messy. Didn't like the applicator tubes, next time I'll buy a tub of glue instead. All in all I'm quite happy with my effort, can't wait to try them out in a couple of days. Hopefully the tubulars will stay on! :))

[@michaelsearer6698]

I just bought a pair of Mavic rims with Vittoria sew-ups. I can't wait to try them and see what all the fuss is about. Old School Rules! Steel bikes only!

[@trackie1957]

Bare hands using the solvent-soaked rag to clean the rim and to apply the glue. These toluene/xylene solvents go right through your skin and damage your liver. Sure, using a brush and gloves doesn’t make the job easier, but cancer really sucks.

Oh no! You mean the pros use those anachronistic sewups/tubulars instead of the silly af tubeless/sealant ones?

@@gerade-aus you saw the date this video was posted, right?

[@gerade-aus]

@tzed2509 You should view the 1995 World Road Cycling Championships where Abraham Olano rides to victory on a flat rear tubular tire for the final kilometer. But for his sewups, he would not have won. Teams such as Trek Sagefredo and Lidl-Trek are returning to tubular for the riders' safety. See Cycling weekly dated February 25, 2024.

[@dddzzzdddzzz]

Those glues have solvents that migrate straight through the skin into the bloodstream. The warnings on the label are no joke, I've known two guys who handled solvents like that and have died of cancer.

[@carlos.5290]

They shouldve covered all their expose skin then.

It's Mastik Pro, Vittoria's water-based non-flammable glue

[@dddzzzdddzzz]

Four years on and… I stand corrected! Thanks for the enlightenment.

[@tzed2509]

@@dddzzzdddzzz no worries, they should have shown a close up of the product. If you look closely you can see the mechanic is squeezing it out of a plastic container, not a tube like the regular solvent-based Mastik.

[@Bandilerosoundboy]

As you can see the rims are already layered with glue.. Two to 3 coats recommended. It is very very important the the tire is also prepped with at least one layer of dry Glue before doing what he is doing. If this is the case then he did it right..

They cut slighly used.tubulars in two to be sure that nobody pick them up in the trash can.... They are still good for 3000km ... I have seen that before even for amateur teams in france ... Not very good mentality those days....

[@11robotics]

Yeah, probably the tyre manufacturers explicitly ask them to do so in order to make sure nobody gets any freebies. At least they could re-sell them for half or quarter price or give them away to less fortunate teams.

[@mvkatesvfc]

@@11robotics Probably it takes a lot more time to remove them without destroying them.

[@11robotics]

@@mvkatesvfc is that why they literally cut down every single one of them with scissors before throwing them to the bin?

[@mvkatesvfc]

@@11robotics Yes, I am sure about that. If they change tires so often then its going to take a lot of time removing them without destroying them. The work load in world tour races for team mechanics is huge.

[@vvictoria6214]

@@11robotics... that's why they are so expensive ! The pro teams get them probably for free (as sponsoring), and finally someone has to pay = we !!! ... On the other hand, pure waste and polution (plastics/polution/glue/etc...) ... and that's again "we" paying at the end !!! So, conclusion, need to start "green" company manufacturing "green" top quality tubulars ... e.g. Wout Van Aert Worldchampion CycloCross Bieles (Luxembourg) 2017 - REALLY MAGIC & GREEN !!!

[@tomr164]

How can you get a tubular perfectly straight on the rim in one go? Mine always needs manual adjustment to get somewhat straight.

[@cristiandanet6228]

Probably you don't use high end tubulars. I need no adjustment when using Vitoria Corsa Speed or Tufo Elite Ride. Minor adjustements when using Continental Gatorskin. Best regards, Cristian

[@alvaromanzano7621]

[@michieldeveld481]

only one layer of glue on the rim?

[@perryroobay]

I noticed that too - He must be using the Magic Mastik. Even still, it still would take me 2x the time - especially mounting the tire/keeping the thread straight

[@ofahlstrom]

It wasn't a brand new wheel. You can see him remove old glue residue before he glued the rim up.

Xcellent, as an old guy l have alway ridden tubulars except 4 the last few yrs . (3) yrs Clinchers as l am sick & tired of gluing the tubulars on the rims . When l have a spare moment l am going 2 remove the glue ( days of work ) & use tape . No clincher rides as well as a tubular. Hope they remain in the Pro peleton ranks .

For cyclocross it is often necessary, but not for road use.

[@remcofalkenburg]

[@jbkltc4469]

[@vittoria]

No they did not. For a tubular wheel, like the one used, it is not a requirement to use rim tape to cover the spoke holes.

[@pawneveryknight]

vittoria so just one layer on the tyre too?

[@ericpmoss]

Yes, for Mastik Pro glue, one layer on the tyre, and let dry until on the dry side of 'tacky'. Then one thin layer on the rim and mount the tire. If you don't let it dry enough on the tyre, it's liquidy/slippery enough to slide right off the rim as you try to stretch it onto the rim that still has liquidy glue. It can be very messy, especially if you use too much of the glue -- the blister packs hold enough to do a pair of cyclocross rims. Another thing to note that I never got from the printed instructions or the official Mastik Pro video is to put more than enough glue on the rim, BUT use your thumb to create a uniform and thin layer in the rim center/sides, and push a bead of excess glue onto the boundary between well and brake track. Then mount the tire, and smush the bead of excess glue back in to seal the tire/rim interface. You can use extra glue to coat the sidewalls if you like. My initial mistake was to use all the glue (way too much), not let that on the tyre dry enough, and not thin the layer on the rim with my thumb as this mechanic did -- it was a mess for me. Lesson learned!

Nice job. But I prefer glue tape. Super strong and super easy, no mess.

[@HeathyRoidz]

oscar l. Glue is stronger

[@8rk]

@@HeathyRoidz maybe 10 years ago. today a well made tubular tape is just as strong if not stronger. I used to be able to remove glued tires with relative ease on side of the rode. Taped tires are a lot harder to remove. Also the 2 different brands of tape I use come off the rim almost spotless. Super clean to install / take off.

[@EF50404]

Gurk E wrong. If you were able to easily remove a glued tubular, then it wasn’t glued properly. Glue is superior especially under heat, heavy braking, and heavy cornering. The adhesive on tape is nowhere near as strong after curing as glue.

[@8rk]

E F false. you clearly haven’t used good tape. please comeback after trying both like i did. good luck

[@ripptorr]

Ok this thing does NOT come off with water.. Slipped a tub off the rim when trying to mount it (my fault) and touched the still damp glue on the rim.. Made a total mess, glue everywhere, put the wheel in the bathtub, rubbed it with a sponge plentynof water and laudry detergent and there is STILL a lot of glue on the wheel.... Hope it will scrub off once dry otherwise I will never ever buy something labeled vittoria. Sorry but it just doesn't work like in the instructions. Dropped some small amount on the floor (tiles) and no way it came out with water and a towel. Had to rub like crazy to get it off, what a nightmare that was..

[@kalashnikovcortez1380]

the glued used in the video isn't the normal latex vittoria glue, which is hard to come off like you have described. The glue used in the video is their newer and more expensive product called Magic Mastik. It washes off with water.
