Inspecting Tubulars? Can't Post
Was is the recommended interval between re-gluing tubular tires? Can a knowledgeable shop tell whether a tire needs re-glued based on visual inspection? Thanks.

Just pull the tire up. If it separates from the rim easily, time to reglue. If it takes quite a bit of effort, just squeeze more glue in there and let it dry, and it's still good to go.

The joys of tubular maintenance.

That depends on how long you age them in your basement before using them...
