Tubs

As I understand it, there are two types of tub glue. There's the stuff you use to mount road tubs and there's the stuff you use to mount track tubs - a hardening glue but Shellac is also used I believe.

Compared to both tape and road tub glue hardening glue is brutal stuff. Road tub glue is formulated to allow a roadside repair - removal and replacement of the tub. hardening glue is not.

[indoor] Velodromes expect racers to use hardening glue because it reduces the chances of a rider rolling a tub and subsequently causing a crash that damages the surface of the track

So if you want to use your tubs on the track you'd need to get them rebuilt with hardening glue. Lucky you.

This is why it makes sense to leave your track tubs at the track :)

Thanks very much. Bah.
