Tubular Tire Gluing - Wish I'd read this tutorial first!!

http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/tubular-tire-gluing

For any cyclocross riders fitting tubs for the first time this season, read this first!! I watched and read a lot of tutorials and none of them went into this depth. Note glue on far edges of tyre and rim. I think this is maybe where I failed. The resulting crash as I rolled about 8" off the front wheel is something I don't intend to repeat again. Luckily I tested the installation out on grass and before my first race of season. However, that was two days ago so I wont be racing on them this weekend.
