I found this bit of translation on my new Veloflex Roubaix's rather humorous.

Somehow the NOT was lost.

They tell you that for a reason. If you glue a tub and let it sit, the glue will harden up, as it should, but...

If you ride the newly glued tub, even around the block, at a slow pace, the glue will mash and squeeze into any voids left when it was being glued and/or put on the rim. Short spin = better adhesion to the rim.

i always take my freshly glued tubulars "around the block" for the exact same reason. most people/websites recommend that after glueing, you should put the wheel on the ground and rotate it while putting weight on the rim/tire- its the same princple. just dont take any corners too hot on the joyride or else.
