Tubulars have been turned into something mystical by the internet. They're not. Buy the tires from Yellow Jersey. Strech them by sticking your foot in one side and pulling the other. With a tiny amount of common sense you can feel the tire strech and then stop before you hurt the tire. Use 3M Fast Tack for glue. It will keep the tire on the rim and as an added bonus, you will be able to remove it on the side of the road if you get flat. Put a layer of glue on the tire and a layer on the rim. Wait about an hour and put the tire on starting with the valve and working around. Hold the wheel betweem your legs and use your feet to hold it to the floor while you pull the tire on around the rim. Getting a friend to help the first time would be a good idea. Let it dry for a day then pump it up to about 100 psi. Try to peel the inflated tire off with your hands. If you can't, you are ready to ride. The 5 day process you rad about will leave you stranded on the side of the road because all that glue will prevent you from removing the punctured tire. What's the point of carrying a spare if you can't put it on?
