Anybody have any advice specific to glueing CX tubs on to carbon rims?

Need to do a fairly pricey set and despite having glued road and track tubs in the past I'm a little nervous.

If your tub rims are modern and wide, then build up a good glue coat on them, hit the tub with some glue, mount and you should be OK, even at low pressures.

If they are narrow, then I've used a mix of tape and glue - but if you go down this route the removal process is pretty much destructive.

Layers of glue is best. I'd do a minimum of 4, and leave 24 hours between the 3rd and 4th layers.

For security, tape and glue is great but, as you say, you'll never get the tub off without damaging it to the point where it's only good for the bin.
