He went to the shop a mile away and they glued him up in a jiffy. At the race he was next to me going into turn 3 and then he was gone. Come to find out the tire had "rolled" off the rim. No myth here, the glue was applied as one drop between the spoke holes and nothing on the tire itself. Hammering into the corners was too much for it to handle and the tire simply peeled off the rim (ie, rolled).
Yeah. If you need to ride aggressively right after mounting a new tire, use tape instead of glue.
