  1. I have heard mixed responses to storing tubies. They are for
    'cross, so they sit around 8-9 months of the year. High
    pressure, low pressure, somewhere inbetween? Temperature?
    Humidity? Will anything help the glue stay?

    Thanks.

    From the Bicycle FAQ:

    tires bought in advance should be sealed tightly in airtight
    bags and kept in the dark, optimally in a freezer. For best
    results, use new tires because aged tires are only as good
    as how little they have aged.

    From folklore: mounted on rims, pumped up to half pressure
    in a darkened room. You pays your money etc.

    With incense and incantations. Myth and lore also RECOMMENDS
    aging tubulars before using them.

    Isn't it the glue that needs to be aged, rather?
