It'll be awhile until I actually get to it. I will take your advice along with the rest. Since I won't be doing tons of tubular riding, it might be a moot point(my fears). It does appear to be a foolproof method, for a first timer anyway. And what about changing a tire on the road? I would need to be carrying tape, no?

My part in the electrical extravaganza is over, except for the back-filling once the concrete has set up. I can do that on my own time. Tomorrow morning I will be free to ride.
On the footwear issue: When we still lived in Ohio and I was carting my portable sawmill around, I went to the home of a couple where the husband was a Filipino woodcarver. I never saw him wearing anything other than flip flops while limbing and bucking logs, and carving with his chainsaw. |

You keep a spare tubular on you (traditionally under the saddle tied to the rails with an old toe strap, extra credit if Christophe), there should be enough glue residue on the rim to get you home.
I bought a Cannondale under seat bag a few months ago, because it was a good price, large, and Cannondale. Turns out it was built as a spare tubular sleeve. Predestiny. |

Is there age-group hoops? Nice thing about running is there's always a big field of old crumbs to compete with. |
I still have my high school yearbook. Somewhere. I think.

Yeah, the air pressure will keep the tire on for careful riding. No screaming descents. You wouldn't want to tape your spare on the road. Most folks carry either an older, nearly used up tire as a spare or an inexpensive training tire. Dentists tend to carry the lightest, most expensive tire they can find as a spare, something like a track tire. :) But in any of those cases the spare isn't what you want to use day in and day out, so you don't make the tire change a permanent thing by taping it. What you can do is get a tube of glue and put a thin layer on the spare. After it dries there will still be enough tack left to provide you some extra security. And folding up that lightly glued tire for storage under your saddle or in your back pocket won't be terribly messy. And, like I said, with careful riding you won't have any worries. Then you just put the spare back under your seat when you make the more permanent installation of the road tire replacement back at the house.

I'm going to grill a fish for dinner. Hopefully another pompano.

Thanks Penman. I watched a couple videos and am now shopping for tape. The earlier tape videos I watched the tape was very different.

Any opinions on wheel-on smart trainers? Wife is interested and that would will help me justify it.

I've got a wheel-on dumb trainer and a power meter. If I were to upgrade, I'd prefer a direct drive (less noisy, no tire wear), but you've gotta do what you've gotta do.
