If you time trial, and it is a setup meant for a race.........tape is a non-starter. Glue. There are both online swaths of data and a local guy who has done extensive roller testing that determined that a competent glue job is faster. A not so competent or sloppy glue job is probably equal or slower to tape.

Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with tubs at all if I was using tape. I may as well sell it all and go to clinchers/tubeless.

I glue mine using the Vittoria glue according to the Vittoria instructions and I can get them off by hand in a few minutes or with help of a tire lever to "gut the deer" around the edge then work it off. Usually they come off reusable.

Just in my opinion molded by local time trial gurus much smarter than I am.
