Less mess with tubular bonding

Apply two coats of glue and allow to dry repeatedly. Then apply the third layer of glue for the final mess with tubular tires. Italian tire specialist Vittoria now wants to put an end to this classic mess for the inexperienced when gluing tires to the rims.

With "Magic Mastic", Vittoria is launching an innovative adhesive with which one layer should be enough to mount tubular tires. But the adhesive can do even more: the tube also functions as a practical applicator. The material is transparent and can be wiped off the rim or tire with a damp cloth after application. "Magic Mastic" can be used on aluminum or carbon rims.

The magic material still has to dry: after application, the wheels are ready for use after a drying phase of 12 hours. The adhesive, which incorporates know-how from the automotive sector, is heat-resistant up to 120 degrees Celsius and should therefore survive a few braking orgies on the rim-braked wheel.
