No nonsense tub tape
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit, plastic backing tape, sticks tyre well
Cons: none found so far!
"Plastic backing to the tape makes removing it very easy once the tyre is on. The backing did not break/rip once when removing on both wheels. Slightly wider than other tape I have used and seems to bond very well. Easy to get the tyre well positioned before taking the backing off (due to the low friction plastic backing)."

CINTA PARA TUBULAR. COMODIDAD Y SEGURIDAD
Pros: Cómodo, Resistente, Alta calidad, Versátil, Buen ajuste
Cons: Caro
"Las cintas para tubular son muy fáciles de poner, la comodidad es absoluta.
No tiene el engorro del pegamento y es mucho más limpio, además las puedes usar en un especio menor de tiempo ya que no tienes que esperar tantas horas como cuando usas el pegamento.
Lo mejor de todo es que te evitas esos pequeños restos que salen de pegamento al pegar el tubular con el pegamento.
En mi opinion, me parece bastante caro, si lo comparamos con cualquier pegamento, además hay que tener en cuenta de que sólo viene la cinta justa para un tubular, por paquete."

Makes tubulars as easy as clinchers
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"This tape is fantastic. Ive used it for years and it makes tubulars as easy as clinchers. Simply pull off the old tubular and tape. Stick on the new tape. Pull on new tubular. Pull off backing strip, inflate and your done in 3 min flat. No mess, no fuss, no waiting, no smelly glue. Solid as glue, but comes off easier to change a flat and best of all no hours cleaning and sanding to prep rims.
I have tried other tubular tape which is half the price but it is a false economy because it dosent stick well. Under heavy braking the other tubular tape lets the tubular rotate round the rim and this eventualy damages the rim, pulls off the valve, and you get an explosive flat."

Better than glue
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Lightweight, secure
"Recently had to change an old used single wich was aped on. I was worried from the stories I'd heard, but it worked like a dream. There s no way it was going to come off by itself, but once I broke the seal, I got the tyre off in in jiffy and then the tape came off in one piece with gentle help. It was perfectly clean ready for the next tape and tyre. Love it and will never use glue again."

Great invention
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality
"No more glue all over you, your ties, rims etc and spending so much time after to clean it all up! It's easy to use, easy to centre the tire and best of all, the tire stays put. I have used wheels with this product on decending the Italian Dolomites and mountains in Spain. Great product."

Better than glue!!
Pros: High Quality, easy to use
Cons: none
"This is a fantastic way of attaching tubs. Much easier quicker and tidier than glue. I've only used it on Tufo tyres so can't verify it's suitability for other brands but on Tufo tubs it is awesome!!"

Easy, clean and cheap
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality
"After trying out the Tufo tape I have been avoiding my glue jars. It's so easy to mount a tire and no need to even stretch it before. Just mount it over the tape and peel of the other side of the tape and it sticks! Have used it on Tufo tubulars but also with Vittorias.
Most people just throw the old tape away with the used tubular but when ripping of the tube, the tape normally sticks in the rim bed. I have been spreading a little tubular glue over the used tape and then just throw a new tubular over it! Sticks even better than with a new tape. And when replacing the tubular again, you can just rip the tape off the rim and there's only so little glue residue left that you can just throw a new tape over it without opening your solvent cans."

So much better than using glue!
Pros: Adjustable
Cons: Expensive
"No mess, no fuss. Very easy to apply.
This tape has a protective film, allowing you to get your tyre straight before pulling off the film to secure the tyre.
I really don't see why anyone would want to use glue.
Word of warning though - this tape is designed to work with Tufo tyres only. There's a warning about this on the pack. It probably does work with other brands but Tufo say that the glue is specifically designed to bond with their tyre beading material.
Anyway, Tufo tyres are also brilliant so not a problem! I'm running a set of S33 specials - great tyres."

No More Tub Glue
Pros: Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight
"This stuff WORKS! Having seen my friend use it for three years now in all conditions from blistering heat to rain and mud I converted from tub glue (which took three days to remove using an apple corer, a hair dryer and white spirit!) this stuff went on so ridiculously easy and was solid straight away. OK so its not as cheap as glue but it doesn't take three days to remove so well worth the free time!"

If you want to use a tape, buy it
Pros: Durable, Comfortable
Cons: Expensive
"Easy to install and to remove.
Yet, I'm not sure that tape is good enough to be compared to regular gluing.
Not sure if it has a better value than other gluing tapes.
Advice:
Don't use the tape all the way like in the instructions - it's better to leave a part without tape on the opposite side of the valve (for easier removal).

Tub Tape or not too tape that is the question!?
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Versatile, Good Fit, user friendly, confidence inspiring
"Well as per the title which to use, Tape or Glue?!
after trawling through many reviews re tubular tyre attaching and the horror stories documented for both gluing and taping I settled for the Tufo tape.
It was so easy to use and as you attach the tape to the rim you get a real sense of how string the bonding agent actually is.
Both wheels done in approx 5 minutes, so easy to use and gives you the confidence to tackle the task your self, no mess, no dramas and those tubs are on tight!"
