A few questions for those folks more experienced with tubulars than I. I purchased a set of race wheels this winter that have never seen the pavement. I had the tires glued onto the wheels by my LBS and they're all sitting pretty right now.
How hard is it to remove a tubular tire once it's on. Do you folks have any hints for doing so. Also, if I want to practice removal and installation, is that alright since it's already been glued? Do I/Can I remove the old glue from the tire and rim before I put it back on? Will I need to apply more glue after I've peeled the tire off once (or a few times)?
I'd like to practice now so that I'm prepared on race day should the need arise. Thanks for your help!
