Tubular gluejob expiration date?

[nemeseri]

So I'm considering to use one of my wheels to test out things and the tire was glued about 7-8 months ago. I only used it for 3 month and put them away. Is it safe to ride? I glued them myself with vittoria mastik one.

yes, a few months is fine

fwiw i expect a couple of years before having to completely clean and re-glue a rim, in that time i'll fit several new tubs

Always check the glue job on a tire. Always. Every time you pump it up. Sometimes a glue job just gets popped in a hard acceleration or hard descent. Sometimes it deteriorates fast because the glue was old or the glue job wasn't quite up to par. Sometimes it was exposed to wet and didn't recover. Sometimes the glue job was perfect (mine always are!) and the base tape pulled off the tire casing. I'm not paranoid about tubular glue jobs, but I always check to be sure everything is stuck down.

I recommend this as well. Checking on the glue job rather than the glue date makes most sense to me.
