I’ve ridden tubulars since Ronnie was president of the States

Day 1
Take a pre-glued tubular
Clean the rim with acetone
Stretch the tubular by stepping on the inside and pulling it with both hands
Apply glue to the rim (and tire, if you don’t have a pre-glued tire on hand)
Install the tire
Semi inflate the tire
Align the tire tape by twisting the tire
Inflate tire to 100 psi
Wipe off excess glue from sidewall, rim, and hands using rag wetted with acetone
Install the wheel
Wait at least a day to dry
Ride the bike
