Re-sticking tubs after last season

 

Hi

 

I'm new here and have a question about sticking tubs - I had a quick search and couldn't see this specific question covered already -

 

I did my first couple of CX races last year, and I'm wondering if I need to re-stick my tubs after they've been 'resting' since last winter? They were stored in the house, partially inflated.

 

They're Tufo Cubus, and I stuck them *only* using Jantex tape last year. Is it worth pulling them off and re-sticking with tape AND glue, as per the guide here?:

I'm just wondering what the general rule of thumb here is about how long the tape stays effective- I know nobody's gonna know how well I stuck them in the first place...

 

Any help gratefully received!

 

cheers

Keep pumping and they'll turn completely inside-out, which makes it much easier to get glue on the base tape.
