Velox Tubasti Tubular Rim Cement

The Professional Standard.

The engineering secret behind Velox Tubasti Rim Cement is its specialized, fluid-viscosity formulation. Unlike generic glues that dry brittle, Tubasti is a highly elastic, rubber-based cement. It cures into a incredibly tough, flexible layer that continuously absorbs high-frequency road vibrations and heavy impacts. It is designed to seep deep into the woven cotton or poly-cotton base tape of your tubular tires, creating a cohesive, unified interface that will not crack, shear, or peel away under pressure.

Why Velox Tubasti is a Workshop Essential:

• Elite High-Elasticity Cure: Dries to a highly resilient, rubberized state that flexes under load, preventing the tire from detaching under extreme, high-speed cornering shear forces.

• Aggressive Optimization: Formulated specifically to bite into the surface of tubular rims, filling microscopic imperfections to maximize surface-to-surface adhesion.

• Excellent Water Resistance: Completely impervious to water, mud, sand, and winter road salt; making it the definitive choice for messy cyclocross campaigns and grueling rainy classics.

• Traditional "Belgian Method" Partner: Pairs flawlessly with Velox Jantex 76 woven cloth tape to build up a thick, protective bed that bridges deep center drop-channels on classic alloy rims.

• Controlled, Even Application: The fluid consistency of the cement makes it incredibly easy to brush out into a thin, uniform film across the rim bed, eliminating "high spots" for a perfectly round, balanced wheel rotation.

Technical Specifications:

• Adhesive Type: Rubber-Based Liquid Mastik (Solvent-based)

• Colour: Classic Translucent Red/Orange (allows easy visual inspection of layer coverage)

• Rim Compatibility: Highly optimized for Aluminum Alloy Tubular Rims

• Packaging: Convenient 25g squeeze tube (ideal for a single wheel build)

• Origin: Made in France

The Alegro Perspective: In the service bay, Tubasti is the undisputed Queen of wheel gluing. While carbon rims have largely migrated to double-sided tape like Jantex 14, a traditional aluminum tubular rim paired with a high-end tire like a Continental Competition Tubular is still best served by a classic, wet-glue process. Tubasti has a relatively fast tack time compared to other liquid mastiks, allowing you to layer up a wheel in a single afternoon. When paired with Jantex 76 cloth tape, it forms an armor-like bond that is practically impossible to roll, giving you the confidence to dive into corners at full gas.
