Dans le message de
, What exactly have I mistaken? We agree about the train of events as far as you have recounted them. Perhaps you have not considered the message to which I replied, in which SSTW himself disparages a paper that he cited. . com in which SSTW disparages the paper as "academic", a paper that SSTW first cited in support of his thesis. It may not be a disparagement. Not all people disparage the academe. Some, however have a blunted sensibility to it. -- Bonne route, Sandy Verneuil-sur-Seine FR |

Just put a light layer on the rim, let it set for 20 to 40 minutes, and mount the tire. Insanity!! Really tho, one light layer onto the rim and none on the tire=tire roll. In ~32 years of riding tubulars daily (having switched to and from clinchers 3 times) I've yet to pre-glue a base tape. Only once in that time have I had a problem with adhesion and that was with a Clement Criterium Cotton which had a thick layer of slick latex over its base tape. The only reason pre-glueing base tape may be prudent, and then only with certain porus/unsealed base tapes, is so the solvent fumes from drying rim glue doesn't compromise the tire-to-base tape adhesion. It has nothing to do with tire-to-rim adhesion. If you are paranoid, and do pre-glue base tapes, be sure to use a _very_ thin layer. Too much glue is worse than too little. It's like solder in that you only need enough to fill the gap. -- Roger Marquis http://www.roble.net/marquis/ Not paranoid at all, just using a wee bit of common sense. A couple of light layers of glue onto the tire does no harm and is in keeping with common sense when gluing anything to anything else. Glue both surfaces. But do what you wish. As a wrench who also rides tubies, who has never had one of mine roll, I will continue the method I have used for 20 years. |

We agree about the train of events as far as you have recounted them. Perhaps you have not considered the message to which I replied, in which SSTW himself disparages a paper that he cited. [snip several pages of headers that provide three links] Dear Michael, Here's how I read the exchange: Jobst vaguely accused the glue papers of dishonest commercial motives, and SS replied that no, the papers seem to be purely academic. [Here's Jobst disparaging the glue papers, claiming that he sensed that they were "covering their liability"--Jobst has a paranoid habit of "sensing" dark motives:] Besides, the articles in the above web site should mainly convince readers that they do not want to partake in these arcane and time consuming rituals. I sense that they are trying to say something useful while covering their liability, the latter being the main thrust. [Here's SS pointing out that the papers are obviously academic and implying that they therefore have no motive for "covering their liability"--SS is not disaparaging the papers as being ivory-tower or impractical, just contradicting Jobst's foolish comment that they were the product of dishonest commercial motives.] The papers appear to me to be academic in nature. Again, I can see how the brief line could be misread, since "academic" is often a disparaging term, but in context Jobst is the one disparaging the glue papers as being the result of wicked commercial motives, while SS is saying that they look like honest academic research.

No one says "as I said" in this context, especially not in a paragraph with the word "ain't". I think you know not of what you speak. You don't understand the difference between "like" and "as". Please stop trying to act as though you were exceptionally literate. Erm, there is a HUGE difference between something like "it's like I said" and "it's as I said". What bit confuses you? I couldn't make much sense of the rest of your overly construed post. |
