these are quick and cheap. $40 for a ten-tire roll. I haven't tried bringing a section with me on rides. I usually bring a spare tubular and assume that enough glue left on the rim, air, and no hard cornering will get me home. that said, glass sucks, and skids eat them up suuuuper fast (and so I don't)

Well, we went to UBI together, so when I say she "built herself a track frame" she actually built herself a track frame. So I guess yeah she paid a lot for the classes/her frame. I'll post some pics of her frame soon.

conversely, if you screw up your gluing bad enough they can roll off in a tight corner
you win some, you lose some
