    I’m lazy so I use tape. Given the effort required to remove a tub once it’s been taped on, I’d be very surprised if it rotated on the rim or were affected by wet conditions.

    On the plus side, tape doesn’t need to go off before mounting and is probably cheaper.

    On minus side, getting the tub accurately centred with most tapes can be a little tricky, the paper-backed ones especially.

    If you decide to go down the tape route, I recommend Tufo tape. The backing is plastic, which makes getting centred a doddle and it doesn’t break when removing it. It’s quite a bit more expensive than other tapes, though, and each pack is for one tyre only. Still, you shouldn’t be removing the tubs too often, especially if you stick a bit of sealant in each tyre.

    glue – ive tried tape and its ok in the dry, but not in the wet where it can rotate on the rim a bit (IME). Glue works great in both wet and dry. Its slightly harder to remove a glued tub but if you have some tyre levers to start the levering off process its not difficult. I have swapped a tub from rolling to rolling again in 3 minutes (with glue).
