OK, that was what I presumed, but just wanted to cut that thought process
off before it started getting dangerous!
THANKS to all! Sorry if the abbreviated question unnerved anyone :-) I was

Actually, maintenance-wise, the shellac keeps the cork in good shape
much longer. The edges of the tape don't roll and the cork doesn't get
grimy. After a single, two week-long tour, the tan cork on my wife's
bike looked like crap. I'm going on the 3rd year with shellac'd cork
tape on my Atlantis
Eric,
I have 37s and 35s. The 37s measure 1mm wider than the 35s on a 2mm
wider rim...sometimes makes me wonder if they are virtually the
same...

Eric,
I recently shellaced the cork grips on my All-Rounder. I think they
look much nicer (deep, rich, amber color), they still feel just as
cushy. With wool gloves (worn off rubber dots) they are a bit more
slippery, with standard leather cycling gloves or bare hands its fine.

Neither. The shellac doesn't interfere with cush, nor does it flake off
(the first couple of coats actually soak in a bit). With more than (say)
three coats, you lose the grippy-cork feeling, getting an ultra-smooth
finish instead, which I preferred.

What are the pros and cons of doing it? The Hillborne build will have
cork tape. Should I shellac the entire thing, or just the twine?

I agree with Jim, here. I bought a KM frameset and long time ago and
finally built it up. It has a lower BB than most mountain bikes, and
the TT has less clearance. I bought a Large KM (my saddle height is
78-79 cm on a road bike) and initially thought that I bought too large
a size. While I c

I've got a 55cm Bleriot and tried it just for laughs while I was

Couldn't even mount the front wheel let alone get it to turn.

I tried a similar-size but smooth tire (Schwalbe HS315 650x54B) on a
Saluki, and it would have worked unless the tire got some dirt on it
or stretched a little bit. I don't think the Q-M will work on the
