for road use I'm tufo tape all the way...i just don't see the need for glue with a tire that small and pressure that high.
this stuff is interesting because of its off-road/cx abilities, the first of its kind really. I'm hopeful enough that I'm willing to try it out, would love to never have to deal with glue again... also their glue cleaning product sounds amazing, takes old glue clean off the rim after a few hours of soak-time, allegedly. |

In several areas in Italy, "Carogna" (meaning: corpse in putrefaction) was the old name for tubular mastic, as mastic smells bad and is gooey. Carogna: a historical, funny name for a modern product that serves the same purpose of smelly old mastic. in a clean, fast and odorless way!! |

the italian wikipedia entry for "carogna" comes up with this cute picture:

Just got my Carogna tape today and will be applying it soon to virgin tubulars. My plan is to let it adhere and then bring it to the LBS for inspection. I'll report back.

I ordered some today as well. This thread reminded me of its existence right as I started to get nauseous thinking of gluing my tires in my apartment like I did last year.

Ordered some as well!
Praying this stuff is as good as it sounds. Will be a godsend if so! Gluing MXP's to some Ardennes. Fingers crossed I don't roll both tires first turn |

I used it...
and love it!! Put it on my new Enve 4.5 SES wheels built by Ergott. Probably have 250+ miles on them and it feels great. so easy and no issues so far (knock on wood). I bought a shop roll from Cantitoe Road so that's enough to do 8 wheels.
I was using Vittoria Mastic which works great too...just a bit more time consuming because it requires waiting a day or two. |

Effetto Mariposa Carogna tubular tape
Quote:
Try De-solv-It I have successfully used to clean glue and tape off both carbon and alloy tubulars. Zero toxic fumes and takes just as much or even less elbow grease compared to those fumey spirits. Sent from my brain |
