I raced with pros. :-) But apologies if my wording was misleading, I was never good enough for the big show. I did, however, glue my own tires. It wasn't that much of a hassle, really. Cover the rim, let it dry, cover it with another coat, coat the tape on the tire with glue, let it all dry overnight again. The trick is to not be in a hurry, which pro mechanics might not have the luxury. Hence, I've never had a tire come off. It's been ages since I've done it (quit racing a while ago), but I bet it doesn't take an hour to do a set of tires. I had also been doing it since the early 80s, so lots of practice.
