I have been using tubulars with double tape exclusively for the last 5 years. I go on long rides and I do not even carry a spare, only the pit stop from Vittoria foam sealant in case that a flat. No more clincher or tubless for me. They ride amazing, last longer, less flats even with really low tire pressure and are very easy to install and replace. You should give them a try.

After a lifetime (50 years) of riding clinchers, 5 years ago I built up a classic steel Colnago with tubular wheels and fitted tubs using the tape method as shown in the video (although 60 psi is too much pressure for removing the backing tape, as you demonstrated). Five years on and not a single puncture despite having covered around 20,000 miles (yet I still carry a couple of spare tubs just in case!). The ride quality is sublime (on Veloflex or Vittoria) and I have confidence to descend and corner at high speed. The tyres seem to last longer and are impervious to the bits of road grit that find their way inside clinchers and cause most of the punctures I used to have.

Tubs are definitely best for safety and ride quality/speed. Removing tape from rims can take hours if you want a really clean rim. Also, tape for carbon rims is 4 x as much for no other reason than Velox arbitrarily decided their previous tape was all of a sudden not compatible for carbon rims and made you buy a new product instead - that costs 4 x as much. Needless to say I still use the ‘aluminium only’ tape, as does almost everyone I know.

Personally I prefer them when I’m riding in the mountains for safety, a flat tub stays on the rim where a punctured clincher will be off the rim way before a rider is able to slow the bike, an accident at 50-60mph descending could be life changing if not life ending, and with products like Vittoria pit stop or muc off B.A.M a punctured tub is usually soon reinfected and sealed without even taking a wheel out of the bike, then there is the feel of them, the bike feels more alive on tubs, not to mention the huge weight saving of tubular rims, around 200-300 grams of rotational mass making it accelerate better, brake better and handle better 👌

I have very few issues with flats, and since trying the Donnelly cross-sized tubulars that use tubeless construction, I have zero issues with mounting them straight or adding some sealant if I ever do get a flat.

l‘m using tubulars as long as I ride road bikes (about 10 years now). After I had three rim failures in a short row with carbon clincher rims on my mountain bike (one rim got wider in one spot, two rims broke… not catastrophic though) I decided go tubular with carbon rims on my road bike. Especially as I use rim brakes. The combination of a heated up side wall and the pressure of a non tubular tyre (with or without tube) is frightening to me. Over all I made good experiences. I use Tufo tape with different tyres. It’s easy to apply as seen in the video and about anybody should be able to do it by themselves. Changing a tyre is way more work than just changing an inner tube or changing a tubeless setup but if you have a bit of experience it’s a job of may be 2 hours. And yes: You do get the Tufo tape of the rim just by pulling it off and, if you want to be über-correct, you can remove residual glue by tapping the removed still sticky tape on the residual glue to take it off. I never glued with cement. For me tape is superior because 1) you don’t have to sand the carbon rim before you apply the tape 2) it’s clean 3) it’s faster (the whole cement gluing process takes some days if done properly) 4) you can go for a ride right after the work is done (at least if you use Tufo tape) So as long as I use carbon rims, especially in a rim brake setup, I‘ll use tubulars and Tufo tape. If however I was using ALUMINUM rims like my wife does I’d use clincher rims with regular tyres and a superlight tube (like Schwalbe Aerothan or Tubolito). The safety aspect mentioned in comments above might be relevant for racers going downhill with speeds above 60 mph… a normal rider should be able to stop safely if you feel your tyre is going flat. Usually tyres don’t explode… So for me it’s more or less a question of the rim material and the brakes you use. And if you’re into that thing: A tubular wheelset will always be lighter compared to a clincher set… rim or disc brake. And just a small tip: If you have the time you should mount your tubular tyre on the rim without any adhesive, pump it up to 100 psi and let it sit over night. Take it off, apply the tape on the rim as shown and put the tyre on again (as shown). Like this the tubular will slip on the rim easier and it‘s also easier to get it straight before removing the plastic liner and finally fixing the tyre.

A tubular flat tire is less common (no pinched flats cause the rim shape has no edge like clincher rims). And since the use of sealant, in case of a flat, just put some sealant in through the valve core similar to tubless, and it will seal itself, easy. Todays tech is pretty good expensive clinchers can have a supple ride, however the ride quality of tubular are a special thing: silky smooth and fast. Because of the different shape of the rim you have more feel of the road, and they're lighter (less rim material) and therefor faster for acceration and better for climbing. Totally worth it if you don't mind learning a new installation process which is no big deal. I have tubulars on all my road bikes, one tubless setup on my CX bike, and clinchers on my everyday work bike.

I've been gluing tubulars since the late '70's. Aside from the method of gluing/taping, a common theme or lack of theme to be more precise I've noticed on this subject while watching videos on this platform is the inattention to the subject of preparation of the tire/rim prior to the installation. Tires need to be dry fitted to the rim. This is the opportunity where one can see how the specific tire and rim interface. Does this tire fit the rim contour properly? Does the base tape around the valve sit and seat properly into the valve stem hole and sit flat down onto the rim without creating an elevated gap and hump? Is the integrity of the tire intact? The tire should be inflated to desired riding pressure and observed for a day or two to make sure there is not a leak from the tube nor stem. Is the casing warped in any way and is the tread fairly true without defects? Once this has passed preliminary inspection, then the final installation may continue. If one continues to use the same tire/rim combo, this process can be accelerated a bit. If a defect is discovered after a tire is glued/taped, the manufacture warrany is void.

I have to disagree, run tubulars all the time, they are significantly lighter and safer as the tyre can't leave the rim. They also can be ridden on a flat tyre slowly, i have done it for 5km. Only negative is the tyres are a little more expensive and harder to get, but i keep a stash. It is really easy to change a tyre with tape. For flats, sealant can fix a flat or just rip of the tyre and stretch on a new one (carry a spare tyre). Don't need any glue or tape to get you home. Just don't scrape the pedals. Lol

That is a total myth. They are even more reliable than clinchers as you don't get pinch flats and tube rub flats, (tube folds) You can fix them with sealant most of the time, if not, stretch on a new tyre. You can fold a tubular so it fits in your jersey pocket. They are a safer and better system. Yes clinchers have got better, but they still do not have all the benefits of tubulars. The biggest advantage with clinchers is they are easier to get and cheaper for the tyres.

Will this tape (apparently 18mm) work on a Dura Ace 9100 (28mm) rim with 25mm tyres?

I will stick to tubes simply due to the low cost and ease to repair any flats. Tubulars are nice but the tape and extra work is useless for me.

Will a dynaplug tube repair kit work on these as a temp repair to get you home?

Yes. Although it depends on whether you have a “tubeless” tubular tire. If the tubular has an inner latex liner (tube), neither the plug nor sealant will work well.

If you can’t glue your own tires on you shouldn’t be riding them. Learn to do it and be responsible for your own glue job. Effetto Mariposa Carogna is easy to use but for absolute security Belgium tape from cyclocross world plus glue is the best.

@@GCPerformance18 I have nothing against tape. I feel it’s important for tub users to do the job themselves so they know it’s done right and know how fix when they get a flat. Most shops don’t have people that are experienced installing them.

@@GCPerformance18 yeah, now that i wouldn't recommend. It is basically contact cement they use for fitting kitchen laminex. It needs to go off. I would doscourage that for sure. If they had a accident they may try to blame you the installer. Something also to be aware of over time, a year or so, the glue can become brittle and the tyre can roll off as it is not soft and sticky anymore. It takes a year or two for the glue to get brittle. I would also recommend people to re glue every year. I know people use their tubulars as race tyres for years because they do so little miles, and don't re-glue for years and years. Not a good practice.
