TufoGluing Tape(Return to Product Page)

I never glue anymore, I've never had any issues with this stuff as long as I'm careful to remove the old tape, and do a decent cleanup. I've ridden on this pretty hard over long distances, never had any issues at all. I mostly use it on Continental tires, the backer is pretty course but again no issues...

This stuff makes it so much easier to mount up tubies. Been using Tufo tape for years and have never rolled a tire off the rim. The only thing that sucks about it is that its a mother f**ker to get off the rim.

Great, easy to use product.

It's nearly impossible to center a tubular tire on the wheel using glue, resulting in a wobble and a sticky mess. The tape is easy to apply, clean, and allows for perfect seating of the tire. Only then the 2nd protective film is removed from the sticky tape, and voil - a perfectly mounted tire. Don't forget to take it for a very short ride right afterwards to cement the tire in place!

I ride Continental Competitions at 155lbs on Campy Shamal Ultra II's. It takes about 2 hours to change tires but heck of a lot easier and quicker than gluing. Most of that 2 hours is cleaning the wheel. I pull the old tire off. Let the wheel sit in the sun for a little while (depends on how much other stuff I have to do but hour). Then carefully peel away the old tape. Usually comes off pretty clean. The I wrap twine around a couple of time and tie-off followed by a generous coating of glue gone. Let that sit for 15-20 mins then take a plastic tire iron and scrape-off. 99.5% of the old glue comes-off quickly followed by touch-up in a few places. Next I spray the wheel with a little contact cleaner to make sure no residue, then lay-on new tape. Mount the tire and let sit overnight. I ride the curvy hills north of SF and confidently ride 35-43 mph on the downhills (Big Rock and SFD past Fairfax). Never a problem!

Wow! Can't believe how easy this was to install! We'll see if it keeps the tire on the rim and how easy it is to remove and put on another tire. Decided to go with this after reading numerous horror stories about glue....why spend over a day waiting for layers and layers of glue to dry when this tape takes 2 minutes.

I've used Tufo tape exclusively for the last 10 years. It has worked flawlessly. My rides include mountain descents around the Norcal Sierras and I have never had an issue. I live in California where the temps in the summer can be in the triple digits and get down to in the 40s in the winter. Still no issues. I've even removed a tire after a flat, stuck a new one on the old tape to get home and forgotten to replace with new tape for about it for a month and it worked fine then as well!

I carry a plastic tire tool to help pry the tire off if I were to have a flat as it sticks really well. However, running Tufo tires with an application of Stan's have virtually eliminated flats for me.

Devoted tubular user for racing - decided to try the tape after using glue for 25 years. This stuff works, but it works too damn well. It took me forever to get the dang tire off of the rim when I went to change it. I've never had so much trouble in my life getting a tire off. This stuff would be a total disaster if I flatted on it during a triathlon. I'll never use it again - it's back to old school glue for me.

Tufo Tape is great. Easy to use and works great and a lot easier to use when putting tubular on.

Incredible invention that revolutionized how I use tires and wheelsets.

Will never go back to clinchers and their countless pinch flats. I have been using exclusively tubular tires in the last two years and the tape is the only way to do it. Will never use the messy glue or the annoying clinchers, plus tubulars just ride so much better.

Glue tape done right is easy, faster and safer. I wouldn't be using tubulars if I had to glue the old way. I can change a tubular in under an hour. Where the old way would take a day or two.

five star overall bc it took very little effort to mount tires, then no problems for 11 muddy races last season, 5 star value because when you compare to gluing, less than ten bucks is a good deal.

Being using exclusively tubulars with tape for the past two years and I love it. No problems so far. Tires last longer than the clincher counterparts and they are easy to change with the Tufo tape. The main advantage in my opinion is that there is no messy residue to clean before you install the new tire.

This tape makes installing tubular tires insanely easy. Peel, stick, mount. That's all there is.

I've heard from friends that this tape works best with Tufo tires, however. Some tubulars are too pointy on the bottom and don't have enough surface area to make a good seal.

I have two set of tubular wheels and I use the the tufo tape on both, at first I thought it would not hold on corners but was proven wrong..fyi..when installing...be patient and glue it per instructions go slow and straight..once you have the tire on only inflate to 20 psi...roll it around using your weight...spin it and check to make sure is straight.....inflate to normal psi...that easy...no more glue...

You'll never have to worry about rolling a tire in a Crit again, ain't gonna' happen. 1000% improvement over the 'Old Days when yothe only option was messy glue.

Works well, especially for road tires. No glue required and easy to get your tire on straight. Seems a bit expensive, but when you see what the LBS charges, do it yourself is the way to go. I've been using it for years. Never had a rolled tire. Clean your rims with alchohol or something - just to be safe.

Used these to redo Tufo Primus for CX, and working great after a couple of races and training. Depending on how they hold up, may not go back to gluing except for mud tires

No reason to use messy, sticky tubular glue ever again - the Tufo tape goes on easily (follow clear instructions), the tire can be positioned perfectly, and once the protective film has been removed (and the bike has been ridden for just a few yards) the tape bonds instantly. All without glue all over the rim and your hands. And removing the tape when putting on a new tire is just as easy and clean - no more scraping off dried glue, possibly damaging the rim.

I've never glued any of my tubulars, used this tape for tubulars wheelstires for 7 years and I like it. It's very strong, easy to apply, and never had any trouble with tires rolling off the rim. My only complaint is when it's time to change tires and apply new tape, the old adhesive is VERY difficult to remove. Acetone doesn't work.
