Mounted my first tubular in 20 years

It really went on easy. Tufo jet special 26 on a velocity rim.

Stretched it on the rim for about 2 hours, glued up the rim and tire let them dry. Then pulled the tire on the rim with out much of a problem, got it straight them pumped up the tire to set the glue.

All of the tips from this forum really helped it to be a painless experience.

Now when I was in my teens I got glue everywhere cuz I didn’t let it dry. What a sight, kind of comical now.

It’s time to make the home-made disk now from that wheel. I’ll post some pictures when I get it done.

Then did you put it on a wheel ?

Yup, That’s what I meant to say when I said I pulled in on the rim. Guess I was to excited when I wrote that.

I don’t know what the big deal everyone has with mounting tubies. It was really simple.
