Why? Because I forgot each box has enough tape for two wheels. While I got what I believed was enough tape for two sets was actually enough for four.
Well, nothing can come close to a tubular - even a lumpy Giro - but in my experience, those boutique
Gommitalias came about as close as a clincher could possibly get.
Darn it, I'm now regretting getting rid of the '72 Paramount again.

If I see a trail of dead Clements all over Arizona and Seattle, I'll know what you've been up to and that it didn't work
