Tufo gluing tape for tubulars - (rolling resistance?)

[Jens Kurt Heyck]

Has anyone tried Tufo gluing tape for tubulars? If so, how well does it work? It seems like it would
be great for spares at the very least. Though, I wonder if it doesn't increase rolling resistance as
a softer glue would.

I've never tried it, but I heard somewhere that it's near impossible to remove from the rim, and you
can't simply go over it with more tape, as multiple layers weaken the bond. Stick with what works-
clear glues such as Vittoria Mastik One or Continental are best. I doubt that you could feel or
measure the difference in rolling resistance between different rim cements, all else being equal.
