It’s almost CrossVegas!
Your ninth challenge: Who would your dream date companion for CrossVegas be and why? (Keep it classy!)
Last week’s challenge: Lots of posts and Tweets in the last week or so as old pros get the Mastik out and prep wheels for new tread. On the other end of the spectrum are the neophytes who are gluing tubulars for the first time—often with a bit of sticky difficulty. Share your favorite gluing story with us.
The Winner: tricoach with “I live in Texas. A few years ago I was researching how to glue tubulars, specifically for our hot climate. I was worried that our hellish August weather would compromise the integrity of my glue so I was looking fore specific advice. I came across an internet blog post which talked about tubulars in Texas. Not yet ‘cross season, I decided to glue some road tire on my favorite Mavics following their instructions. Their instructions were basically prep the wheel, apply a layer of glue, wait 24 hours, apply another layer, wait 24 hours, etc….for about 5 days! By the time I applied the tire there was so much glue a horse farmer would sue me! Come ‘cross season, when I was ready to change tires, I went to remove the tires. Nope. Not happening. I’m still riding those tires!” (Email [email protected] to claim your prize!)
So many great responses—keep ’em coming!
