Ok, this is a stale forum, but this seemed like the best place to pose the question: Last year I ran Conti Sprinters on an 808 and Zipp Disc glued liberally with Conti Carbon rim cement. For this year's ritual "re-shodding of the wheels" I got the new shoes and out of LBS convenience, got Tubasti cement, maybe without thinking it through. Any thoughts on Tubasti in track environments? Carbon rim suitability? Thanks in advance.
i'd avoid Tubasti like the plague.
it's stringy, sticky, white, messy, and an utter pain in the ass to work with compared to Conti or Vittoria glue.
i glues my wheels for the first two years with Tubasti because it was the only stuff that the store near me stocked.
when I switched to Conti glue I was shocked at how much easier gluing wheels was.

The Conti carbon glue I had outlasted Sprinters I was running. I've been picking base tape off the rim on the disc for what feels like weeks (sporadically). That said, you seem to echo the comments of two friends of mine, but I figured I'd try to increase my sample size to be >2.
Many thx
