Tubular Clean-up
Quote | Reply
I've installed a tubular but have excess glue on the tire. What can I use to remove the glue w/o damaging the tire... rubbing alcohol, WD40, "Goo-Be-Gone"? Will any of this damage the tire or bond?


Damn, that's a cold ass honkey.

It's best to just let it sit over night and use friction and heat (your fingers) to remove the excess glue on the tire/rim joint. Most tubulars are constructed with various kinds of glue that is similar to what you used to glue it on, so there is the possibility that it will deconstruct if you use any clean-up solvents.

If you use the tape, how do you change a flat on a ride?

Ditto. Or roll with some glue just in case. I just put Stans Sealant in my tubulars at the begining of the season and I have never flatted.
