    Who? Jobst? I've experimented with no talc the first time I put a tube
    and tire combo on. Any time I've had a little spliggage I've added a
    little talc. After adding the talc the splippage disappears. I'll keep
    talcing.

    stickage....

    I have only two presta tubes left out 18 tube and wheel set ups. And
    only I haven't got up and drilled the last 2 rims yet. But when I have
    touble with them they get drilled too.
