Yep... But God save Youtube. I have learned so much from perusing its vids. They far out weigh their faults.

I have really never know the true and proper way to mount tubulars. I just did it. I do remember having glue all over the place though. On the rim, on the spokes, on my hands, on my cloths, on the floor... Hey... It was a learning process.

I do vaguely remember the old Italian riders in Italy having a perfectly good wheel set pumped up and hanging on the wall. At questioning they said they were drying. So as not to look like the idiot I was I just nodded my head... Ha

Yes... But ya gotta let them dry so not too thick on the glue, light pressure in the tube, and keep um warm for awhile...
