Is tubular the same as tubeless?
Simply put, a tubular tyre cannot be mounted on a clincher rim, and a clincher tyre (tubeless or otherwise) cannot be fitted to a tubular rim. And while it’s possible to fit a tubeless tyre to a standard clincher rim, the only way that it can be inflated is with an inner tube.
Are tubular Tyres worth it?
A tubular can be a big advantage because, if properly glued/taped, it is possible to effectively use much lower pressures (for better traction), with little fear of peeling a tire off, and less chance of flatting versus a clincher.
How long does it take for tubular glue to dry?
between 12 to 24 hours

Why do people use double sided 3M tape for rim mounting?
The reason is when you use a double-sided 3m tape the backing remains on the top side of the tape and only bonds into the rim bed itself eg you don’t remove that backing until after you’ve mounted the tire and got the tire true on to the rim.
