Check out this method:

velocipedesalon tire gluing


Apparently the use of belgian tubular tape in addition to the normal glue creates a bond strong enough for abuse from cyclocross. Much overkill for road tires setups he says. I like his method of rolling the wheel/tire on a broom handle, and the use of electrical tape on the brake surface.

Questions:
Does Belgian tubular tape in combo with glue increase rolling resistance?
Any roadies use this method?
