Gluing Tires
Would like to get your opinions on this. I haven't really kept up with trends and don't do my own bike maintenance (live in tiny condo)
I have tubular tires on my road bike and I skipped my service apt this year due to COVID and no bike shops being able to take me. I got my tires glued last year at a shop that i'm not particular fond of.
I've called 2 shops around me asking to get my tires looked at to see if they need re-gluing (i'm paranoid) and the first one replied "tubulars? how old is your bike?" and i told him i've had it around 10 years now to which he said "weird, i would have thought a lot older if you're running tubulars" so i didn't bother taking it there assuming they don't have much experience. The next shop said they no longer glue tubulars and they just tape them saying it's less messy and tape is just as strong now.
Is there any truth to that? Can I just get new tires taped instead of glued or should i find another shop?
Thanks,
