The more I think about just grabbing the Tubasti and gluing these up tonight, the more the sage advice above brings me back down to Earth and reminds me to wait for the tape. Plenty of time to try glue - in fact, I think I'll just go ahead and glue up the Giros onto the SSC wheelset so's I have a fully-ready spare set. I mean, come on, a big part of the reason I'm trying these is because I want the purported benefits, so the easiest, most direct way to get there is tape-and-go (plus another couple days stretching can't hurt the tires, amiright?). I was looking the bike over tonight and for the first time in a long time I was getting excited about slinging a leg over the top tube and giving it a proper go. This bike needs to get ridden but more importantly I need to go for a ride on it

A couple glue-specific questions for all: (1) are two tubes of glue enough for both tires and both rims? and (2) approximately how much time for centering the tire accurately should I have before the glue sets? Oh, and I do not possess a truing stand, so I'll be centering the tires with the wheels in the frame.
