Why exactly is the bead on the Boa so big ? I thought I remembered
reading in the 05 conference that is was designed that way to make
glueing easier. Is there any other benefit ?

Thanks.

Rich - You hit the nail on the head. It's called the "glue channel" and
to be honest, the first time I saw it, I thought it was pretty silly.
Then I glued up a set of Boas and realized how nice they were.

With a thin glue, you can puddle a little bit of it up, spin the wheel
around and spread the glue all through the channel and it will wick
right down into the bead and give you a perfect glue job every time.

I personally prefer Fusion glue, but Losi or PL thin would probably work
just as well.
