TufoGluing Tape(Return to Product Page)

Awesome product, no mess what so ever. This should be used with Tufo tubulars, that is what I used it on. Not like the old days with all that mess and waiting. Holds up great, rode today 97 degrees HOT rode 20 plus miles held up great. With this product and Tufo tires, I am back to riding tubulars forever!

A little on the expensive side, but couldn't be easier to use. No problems so far.

Switched to Tufo tape and it's made tire replacement much easier, especially keeping my carbon rims clean. Replacement now takes hour(s)instead of days. Make sure to stretch the tire before you tape and install it.

Short of a team of personal mechanics, which I don't have, this tape is the fastest way to install a tubular tire. Zero mess. Rock solid adhesion. I usually handle my flats with Stan's Tire Sealant (I like it better than Tufo Tire Sealant) but if you have to change out the tire on the road this product makes it quick and easy. When really pressed for time, I've even replaced the tire on the road over the old tape (NOT recommended by manufacturer) and had no issues with security. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

My previous bout with installing tubulars was with the tube of glue. Which will get the job done and some may say provide a better stick but I am unsure if I will be doing the type of riding that will put that to the test. This was my second time installing tubulars and I must say it went a lot better than the first. No glue stuck, well, to everything, belly, hands, various parts in the garage. This product is extremely easy to use and effective once installed. I highly recommend this product.

So long as you take your time removing the protective top strip once the tire is first attached this stuff is great - takes the mystery, guess work, mess and smell out of attaching a tub. The recommendation is to use this with Tufo tubs as they don't have a middle seam on the underside of the tire - I've also used it with Vittoria's which do have the seam - so far no problems - pressure is so high and there is enough 'give' in the tape that it works - anyway that's my risk. One other thing to note is that the tire can slip around a bit when you try to first attach it i.e. when the protective tape is still on, especially if the tub is a tight fit - i ended wrapping sticky tape around tire and rim as I progressed around to keep tire in place and then used some tire levers to pop the last section on. Overall I've used this tape several times now and would recommend it.

Glue did not take hold. I was told by lbs that it is not recommended in hot climates and I live in Florida.

Never go back to glue.

I used to use glue and didn't enjoy the mess. The glue would always seem to get where I didn't want it and was unforgiving.

With the Tufo tape it is extremely simple to mount the tubular and get exact positioning before activating the glue surface by removing the plastic covering.

Well, if you're using tubulars this is the way to go. Forget about the mess of replacing a tire, cleaning the rim etc... Just pull of the tape, and you're ready to put on a new one. My Tip- when putting the tire over the tape, keep a small piece of tape cover between the tape and the tire- make sure it's right across from the valve so you can find it- it makes pulling a punctured tire that much easier, especially when you're in thee middle of a race and your heart rate is through the roof.

Very easy to use and is holding quite well. A little spendy though. Will never go back to clinchers.

Much easier to use than conventional glue. Have used it for over 5 years on both Tufo and other tire brands. Never had a failure or any other glitch.

I have used this product for about 5 years on aluminum rims. Mounting a tubular tire is a snap. Adhesion to the rim is good, however, cleaning the residue off of the rim can take up to an hour. If you simply put a new glue tape over the sticky residue, you can get a clicking sound (like someone snapping gum). The best way to remove the residue is with 3M adhesive remover and a Scotch Bright pad.

Bottom line is that It beats the hell out of glue so I put up with the cleaning headache.

Although I've only mounted two tires on my own, I highly encourage other road cyclists running tubulars to try this. Very easy to get perfect, especially if you remember to stretch the tire first and wait to install the sealant (if you use it).

This is the only way to glue tubular tires!! This was my first attempt at mounting a set of tubular tires and I thought it was going to be a nightmare! Not the case! This product made it extremely easy to do. I was riding again in about 30-45mins. The instructions were easy to follow, the product was easy to install and there was very little mess. This is a great product!!

All I need to hold my cyclocross tires to the rim, even at low pressure.

Used the new tape with Vittoria Corsa Evo CX tires on Zipp 202's. They made the mounting easy and with no mess. I have almost 700 miles on them and no issues what so ever. Recommended.

Great product, not had a problem yet . Just make sure the wheel is clean of old glue.

I have three sets of tubular wheels needing new tires each year. The tape has made this spring ritual so much more easier. This is my first time removing the tape, so I can't comment on the tape removal as of yet.

I've used glue and tape. The tape is quick and easy...way less messy. I take the turns fast and am not one bit worried about rolling a tire.
