Has anyone used this product?
I recall seeing tape for tubulars before but they
never seemed to popular.
This one seems new, just wonder if they
are any good.

thanks,
Marty

I use Tufo tyres, but I have no desire to use the tape. Glue works, and tapes are a pain in the @$$ to use. Why spend the extra $$, even if this tape doesn't fall apart when wet (most do)?

D'Alex,
I was just curious since most tape of the past has gone the
way of biopace chainrings.
I'm gonna stick (no pun intended) with my Pana Cement.

Thanks,
Marty

D*Alex, tell me about your Tufo experience. I am thinking of trying some. Thanks.

I love tufo tyres. I use s22's on the front with a sprinter on the rear for one wheelset, and use S33 specials on the other.

I would not trust tape. Rolling a tubular off the rim, particularly the front, is BAD news!
