It's a great series. I also like the fact that the playlist is in chronological order. When I look at how tubular tires are set up, I feel that they have something in common with tubeless tire setups. Both require "time". Thank you, Calvin and Ben.

Calvin + Ben= Great Chemistry !...Very Informative....

Calvin & Ben - the Abbot & Costello of bike maintenance :.) Great video as always. Been using the tape for ages and far prefer it over glue - try peeling back a couple of inches of the protective tape and folding over to one side at each end and then fit the tubular and then once your happy with its position just pull the protective tape out and then check position again and then fully inflate the tyre.

Haha. This should be renamed "the joy of bike maintenance" and Ben should get a perm.

you guys keep stringing us along!!! I hope we see some fat bike skinny tire riding soon

James Gaston what he ^ said.

I fold about a 1" piece of the protective plastic out near the valve stem before mounting the tire. One the tire is aligned just pull the strip out.

Calvin + Ben= Great

What about mentioning the desirability of stretching a 'green' tubular (we call them 'singles' in Australia) on an unused tubular rim for several weeks to get it round, before gluing it on? That's an important part of it all, unless you want a lumpy ride that wears tyres out quickly.

great series! can't wait for the finale!!

i just love calvin who with me ?

"What do we get here?" Ima go with not stoned or high 😂😂

Almost done...

Парни молодцы , интересно даже посмотреть , а где вы находитесь ?

Before cleaning the rim, would it be recommended to rough up the gluing surface of the rim (via sandpaper or something) in order for the glue to stick better? Is this unnecessary or even detrimental?

great Video Guys , I have some questions about the reaming tool and heads , who should I send it too?!

the word is "Time" more time on what we know is why we don't do tubeless

haha you should check out the skinny pk ripper

Tire race, hahaha

that's a tire nd tube also what hapoens when you catch a flat

Pull the tire and replace in the field with a pre-glued spare that you carry. It is a faster change than changing a tube on a clincher or putting in a tube in a tubeless. The contact cement adheres instantly.

So much work just to fit a tire... Just go tubeless already...

They are doing it just for fun dude. Go grab your inhaler and ride your 10 miles .

Holy crap! How long does it take you guys to build a wheel?!

Why would any normal person go through all this just to put a tire on! 😧 I'll stick to my regular tires! 🖐️😬

either calvin's really tall or ben's really short. which one is it?

Weren’t those tires an off white color previously? Hmmm? Well, whatever. Maybe rim glue also adds color? No?

Yes, a "natural" or tan color is the norm in tubular tire sidewalls.

@@parktool Yes, I know. But, I meant the whole tire, though I think I was wrong. It’s just that the tire was often shown while being held inside out (sorta), so the black of the tire wasn’t very obvious. My mistake in memory.

12 to 24 hours to dry, get a flat and the days over, not to mention the next day will be spent fixing flats, lol, I have always despised this process as a mechanic this was the worst job someone could request when I was working in the industry.

There is no denying that repairing a tubular takes time. But, the 48 hours is only for a clean rim. Once the rim is glued, a new coat of glue with a new tire and you are ready. Yes, the solvent needs to evaporate, but generally, I pre-glue tires at the beginning of the season and keep them in freezer bags. When I flat, I put on a spare in the field to continue my ride. Then, upon returning to my shop, I peel the spare, put on a coat of glue, take a new tire from a bag, install. It will be ready the next day. Now, the flat. If it is new, I repair. If it isn't, it is toast.

sounds like a good solution, where theres a will theres always a way.

what a waste of time

why did you bother to make a wheelbuilding video if you basically skip the acutal build?

You can see the other steps of the wheel build in episodes 1-3: kzread.info/head/PLGCTGpvdT04TEJE0ITTQPGI-J7ehBiaYH We calculate spoke length, drill a rim from scratch, and lace it up.

wow ..just not worth the tiny small hardly of a different change of riding to go through. I dont got that much of time in my travels for something ridiculous. . zzzzzzz

Actually, as a test of tire/tube/rim combinations, a well-glued tire on a proper rim is substantially different in momemt of inertia (fast acceleration), predictable traction, comfort (supple side walls) and - no pinch flats.
