Tubular tires are designed for performance, use glue!

And use Panaracer!! Doesn't get thick, is clear and ya can 'take a trip without leaving the farm'..if ya do it in an unventilated room...
If can't find a can of it, cut your Fosters can in half(after drinking it-YO)..and get a solvent brush...
Yee gads..rolling resistance is measured in teeny improvements or teeny reductions..NOT why ya use a tubular and tape is gunky...
Panaracer!!
