Good tape

This tape works very well with Tufo tires because it actually interacts with the tires backing material to enhance the bond. For tires with a cotton backing I would use glue in addition to the tape.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easy. Works great.

Decided that I should start racing road (masters cat 4) on tubulars. Mounted the tires myself. Not difficult. 200 miles since then ,racing rough roads, 40mph descents and have seen no problems. Starting to trust them.

Thank you for your feedback.

With a clean rim this was the easiest mounting of a tubular tire I've ever done

They hold and stay put under hard cyclocross environment ??????????

I'll never go back to plain glue.

I've been using glue tape for my tubulars for years now, for both road & CX. I'll never go back. Usually I put one coat of regular glue (using a small brush) on new tires, however once a rim has been glued before I rarely if ever put more glue on the rim. Then when the glue dries it's easy to mount on the rim on top of the gluing tape and align the tire.

No more glued up t-shirts, hands, etc. and I've never rolled a tire. I have no idea why anyone wouldn't gluing tape for tubulars vs. all old-style glue. Aside from tradition, that is...

Thank you for your feedback.

The simplest way to mount tubulars

Worked great on carbon rims. The best part is you can adjust the tire on the rim before you take the foil off. No more bumps in the tire from improperly tensioning the tire on the rim as you can fine tune it before removing the foil.

Thank you for your feedback.

Couldn't be more simple

This tape is extremely easy to use and a whole hell of a lot cleaner than regaular glue. I have also found that this is one of the more cheaper websites on which to purchase this product.

First time tubular rider...

...and it couldn't have been a smoother process thanks to Tufo's tape system. I've been interested in tubular rims for a while and was hesitant because of the glueing process. The Tufo tape made this process easy, easier than installing clinchers. I've changed a few tires now and won't be going back to clinchers any time soon.

Thank you for your feedback.

If you clean your own rims when changing your tubulars, make your life a lot easier by using Tufo Tape!

I've been gluing on tubulars for several years, and the interval multi-day clean up process required when changing tires has always been dreaded. But when I had to change a flat recently on a wheel my team mate had mounted with the tape, I was blown away with how easy the whole process was. The tire I removed and the one I replaced it with stayed firmly mounted thru all my summer racing. But the best part is how easy the swap out was. No more long hours and blistered fingers to get the rims cleaned up. This is a great product.

Thank you for your feedback.

The perfect solution to gluing tubulars to carbon rims

I have been riding tubular tires for20 years and I love their feel, light weight and cornering ability. Many of my friends would like to ride tubulars but have hesitated because of the gluing process previously required.Once I discovered how easy it is to glue a tubular to a carbon rim using the Tufo Gluing tape, I have been able to convinced several of my friends to switch to tubulars. The Tufo tape is very easy to apply and if done correctly, leaves no mess and allows immediate riding with no drying period. This is especially important when you are in the mountains and don't wish to descend on a tubular that hasn't been properly attached as was the case with the older process of gluing the tire onto the rim.

Thank you for your feedback.

Love how this works

Makes installation a breeze. So far I've only had to pull off oe tire for repair. I didn't have any problem removing a Vitoria tire using my hads only, no tools. Cleaned rim using a plastic picnic knife anda little mineral spirits. So far, I have not noticed any issues while riding but I am not that aggressive in the corners.

Thank you for your feedback.

Adhesive is susceptible to heat

Initially I was pleased with this product, but after riding on some warmer days in Michigan I noticed my tires starting to move around the rims. Especially on hot tarmac. It was incredibly scary on fast descents and I had to slow way down and limp home. The tape is a great idea in concept but in practice does not seem to work unless it's colder out.

Thank you for your feedback.

CRAP!

The tape crystalized and lost it's glueing power. Rolled the tire off the rim after 6 months of being on. I will never use tape again. GLUE!
