Come now! We don't need to sound like the bunch of old f*rts that we are. Speaking like this is certainly the way to alienate millennial and post-boomer C&V enthusiasts.
In fact, since I only mount my tubulars with Effetto Mariposa tape, your assumption is I don't
"...know how to... properly mount..." my tubular tires. Yet, I have mounted with glue in the past and now mount with tape and I'm perfectly happy with the results. Have I evolved? Or have I gone to your
"dogs"?
BTW, I really like most dogs, so that's offensive as well.
