Jantex tubular tape
Just put on my first set of tubulars and it wet Relly well with the jantex tape. Just wondering what curing time would be on the tape?

Is jantex tape really that bad or is that a biased article to be in favor or that belgium tape?

Welcome to the world of tubulars.
Gluing isn't really that hard after 3 or 4 "experiences".
But if I had modern, deep rimmed, carbon wheels, I would likely be taping instead of gluing.

If you're into podcasts, there is a good one called the "Bike Shop Show" where a guy includes an excellent tech segment in just about every release. Several episodes ago he reviewed a white paper that compared the adhesion of several methods of tubular mounting on aluminum and carbon rims. If you're into tubulars it might be worth checking out.

I've not used Jantex tape, but I've used Tufo tubular tape, and it's a snap to install.
So far, the distinction between what works on carbon rims vs. aluminum rims is not all that clear.
I completed a 40-mile ride about a month ago and another 18-mile ride 3 weeks ago on some carbon rims with tubular tires, then in switching tires, found that there was no glue whatsoever on the tires, and to tape, either. The tires I swapped back on have no glue, but residue from where they were taped to other rims and never ridden. I've ordered the Continental glue for carbon wheels to finish off the installation, but have ridden an 18-miler and a 27-miler on them, just to see how they roll, and no issues.
When I was newer to tubulars, I taped a set of tubular clinchers to tubular rims, not knowing the tires were clinchers. The tape held quite well until I realized the error.
Tape is much easier to use, but more expensive, so when you choose the tires and rims to match up, it's wise to make it "your final answer."
