If the rim is clean enough I charge a £10. Really you spend 5 minutes apply glue one day, then another 5 minutes the next and another 5 minute for the tyre. Mount centre and inflate. It takes 20 minutes and that is over three days. Glue is not expensive and if you use tubs I think you should simply watch me do it once and then do it yourself. Happy to show folk it really is very simple and the tyre wont be comming off in a hurry.
Modern tape are apparantly quite good. However I don't care how good they are I like the process of gluing. Something satisfying about it.
