I am trying out the tubular world, on due to getting some used Zipp tubulars.

My hand Zinn repair book says use vittoria mastik one. I have the conti carbon cement but am not sure to try it.

Any experiences?

Use the Mastik One. And the Conti Carbon Rim Cement does not seem to be compatible with Mastik One. The regular Conti cement is marginally compatible -- it seems to stick but we've noticed peeling of layers of Conti off pre-existing Mastik One, which isn't cool but may not mean anything in the end. However, the Conti Carbon does have a solvent that interferes with proper adhesion of Mastik One. It also seems to be very temperature and storage sensitive -- we've returned quite a bit because it tended to separate and become decidedly non-adhesive when dry. Not nice.
