I have some admissions to make,
I have only ever rode on clinchers
I can sew
I don't like glueing things (okay except Airfix kits as a kid)
And I'm fast approaching an age milestone that requires my to buy a present for myself (at least that's what I told the wife)
Anyway the point is one of the bikes I have my eye on has tubs and I want to know if it's possible to change a tyre on the go if it punctures? The guys at Planet X are making a big song and dance about it being very quick to change a tubular tyre by using the specific double sided tape they sell (instead of glueing). What's the reality? Can you rip off the old tyre, put on the tape, attach the new tyre and be on your way in a few minutes?
