Preserving the rubber portion of the tire can be done with Glycerol, though it is a liquid and will transfer to anything contacted. Light latex coating with a 10 mm paint brush on the cord section will preserve the casing section and keeping all of it out of Sunlight is imperative for a long life.

I have added a nice mid to late 50s Campy equipped lightweight to my stable. The tubulars are early 60s in absolutely unridden condition, the

moulding seam totally intact - what is the best way to preserve the rubber - aside from obviously staying clear of solvents and sunlight. I have other tubulars from the 80s that are 'marginal' in their integrity but are unique in their labelling which I also want to preserve. I am calling upon the collective experience of the CR list to help me on this

one. Also - the foil Columbus decal - 60s vintage - what are the tiny words which follow the bottom of the curved line under the Columbus logo? Mine

has worn off.
