This time I plan to let dry both rim and tyre glue after 2 coats on each and then mount and inflate. In theory they should be ready to ride as soon as I inflate no? Otherwise whats the point in carrying pre-glued tub?

You don't have to carry tape. You don't have to carefully tape the rim, mount the tyre, peel off the tape whilst moving an allen key around the rim over the de-taping process.

yes I have ridden a tub just after mounting. I have never found a problem.

It takes about 10 minutes to apply glue to a rim and tub. apply alot hang up over night then mount the next day. I assure you once inflated and you leave for a sort while that tub is not coming off easily. Where the hassle. People think gluing is more involed than it really is. My tubs dont roll but I do lay down alot of glue.
