I just bought my first tubulars last evening. I won't have them in hand until September at the earliest. Nor will I have the hubs to build the wheels.That will give me the time I need, to contemplate putting sealer in them, or not. What would you advise? I'm leaning toward not putting sealer in. Or maybe just the rear. I'm also leaning heavily in favor of glue, over tape. For the same reason I'm leaning away from sealer.
I'm excited at the prospect of finally making the leap.
