No one is mentioning tape rather than glue? (I have no experience with it.) I always used FBNY's method and only rollled a tire once as a result of going down, never as the cause, but I never raced. I let the glue dry longer now because the solvent in some rim glues seems to dissolve the glue attaching the seam tape on some tires. I do not use brands consistently and can't remember which brands have that problem, but I think combining Vittoria (tires?) and Continental (glue?) have been problematic.
