Who is it that maintains the font of conventional wisdom? If the glue is good, the glue is good. If you have to wrestle the tire off the rim over 30 minutes, chances are it ain't gonna roll on the first downhill you encounter. Actually, I'm surprised the tape held that well; "conventional wisdom" also says that tape strips are not a safe way to attach a tubular.

The maintainers of conventional wisdom will come get ya.
