Got it. In the context of disc brakes, I can see the issues. Not having ridden with them I was unaware of those issues.

Started gluing tubulars for the first time today. Brushing glue onto the base tape reminds me of painting bare wood...the tape pretty much sucked in the first coat. Three coats of glue so far for both the tires and the rims.

Gluing tubulars feels so 19th century. Still, gotta do it myself in the next day or two.
Finally on 11-speed. Put Rival 22 on the road bike. Huh, this stuff works a heck of a lot better than the 10-speed version.

I should probably re-glue my tubulars....
Only did 2 coats. Then again I will never race crits on them so...dunno.

My co-worker at the LBS, who has been doing this for ~30 years, told me that the Specialized glue was the thinnest he had seen. That might factor into it.

If I were to eat that stuff, I'd be inclined to say the word 'eh' after every sentence for at least an hour, eh...
