Just glued my new Vittorias on my new 404's. All in all, it's a pretty clean install. Any input on how to be sure they're glued solidly? I pumped them up to about 90 psi to sit overnight. Typical---Vittorias will flat in the morning....anyway, what should I look for to be sure they're ready to ride?

Inflate to full pressure and try to roll them off with your hands. If that doesn't do it you are prolly good to go.

Try peeling back the tire. If it comes off easily try gluing it again. If not you're good. You can spot put some more glue on there to make you feel better after the test.

I usually lend my wheels to my girlfriend prior to my key race, if she does not fall off I know they OK for me to use.
Best way is following Paolo Savoldelli down a switchback descent. If you make it they're ok.
