Ok so I'm sure there will be a few laughs at this post and at my expense, but I need some help.
This is my first time installing tubular tires and I want to be sure that I did it correct, so I'm hoping that people could post some things that or pictures of things to look out for that would indicate that it's not installed correctly and will cause issues.
I can tell you that I used too much glue around the nipple hole on the rear rim so there is some visible glue on the "bead" area, and I'm not sure if this is just in my head but it seems like both tires have a slight bump where the nipple is (on the side that contacts the road). When spinning the tires I can feel a slight bump where the nipples are, again on the side that contacts the road, but it's not bad, just barley noticeable.
Also the instructions say to make sure the nipple sits straight after installed through the rim, front is cool, the rear is very very slightly askew.
Thanks.
