I've never seen the appeal to tape, I've always had great luck with letting the tires stretch on a pair of dry rims for as long as I can, I went to my lbs and asked them to give me a call if they were ever scraping a set of old tubular rims so now I have a set of very dented mavic reflex for stretching. Then I do a coat on each rim and tire every 24hrs and then a skim coat on the tires before I roll them on. I put a flattened cardboard box down on the ground so nothing picks up dirt and wear…

Google couldn't find a good explanation for curing the bump so I thought I'd get my cure (stretching and trimming the tape) out there. Besides sharing the little tricks with the community beats just reading about merchandise for sale.<br />
But I have no doubt there'll be mud sometime.<br />

Forecast is for a wet weekend - excellent!

I feel your pain. I had a similar experience last season. If I weren't so stubborn/determined I would have given up and hired someone! Funny story, although not at the time I'm sure. Good luck on the next ones! I feel like you are going to have a very muddy season, you will not regret having the Limus's!
