What I remember liking best when I helped Wildwood mount a pair was that once we had the tire on and semi-inflated we could mess around and spend plenty of time getting it perfectly centered on the rim without worry that the cement would set before we did. Once to his liking, we just pulled the clear-red covering and the tire was set. The older I get, the more I like Easy Street

Lastly, I am on the lookout for Challenge Elites in 25mm - those would make me very happy. Should've bought them months ago when I saw them for $45 per on Ebay. I used their Elite clinchers and they were fantastic at 260tpi. Wouldn't be surprised if their tubular version is even better.
