Morning all,
I had been looking at videos such as this -

And it appears that mounting a tyre taking two or three days, if using the rim tape is it a 5 minute job?

Just mounted 2 tubs using rim tape for the first time!
Cannot believe how simple it was,no mess no miss alignment but I do miss the glue fumes!

I use the 350ml tins of continental tub glue,a pair can be done quite quickly,say 2 hours including drying times,then left to cure for 24 hours. http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/w ... res-23929/
Try this method.

Another tub query -
From what i have read, seen and been advised it appears that tub tape is the easiet option (i prefer easy options) but, if i am using used tubs will i have to use glue with them? I currently have a used set of tub rims with old glue on them - i plan to remove it and sand the rims lightly and afix the secong hand tubs to them - what are the pitfalls?
I should add that i am waiting for NOS tub rims which i will probably use tub tape (after sanding lightly) but the used rims might be a different story.
All advice welcome and apologies for hijacking the post,
Richard

It depends on the condition of the surface,if there are no real lumps & bumps,re-activate the glue with a solvent & apply another coat over the top.I would only ever consider using rim tape as a get me home method.
With regard to pre stretching tubs,a mechanic told me that if it was needed the manufacturer would have done it.

Two questions -
1. Are both these videos good demonstating mounting tubs?
2. What is the downside to tape compared to traditional glue?
Have a good weekend everyone,
