I haven't heard of this, at the moment I use a mini pump that I strap to the front tube with a velcro strap.

I've heard of filling tyres with helium (like the balloons) but dismissed this because of the dangers, I think high rim temperatures might cause some explosion !

At the moment my tubulars are stuck on with some kind of tape, I have a spare roll, is this relevant ?
