Tubs

yes

yes for road

yes

i have done these exact things in past on. a hed stinger

Good stuff, thanks for the input.

Do you mean for new rims? I prefer to lightly sand.

I have a stash of tubs that needs downsizing including Griffo 33s and original Spesh Tracers.

1) The EM cleaner is really good.
2) Yes, for 'cross too. They have some specific advice for that on their site (e.g. no sanding, cut the tape to exact width, leave longer to cure etc.)
3) Orange Seal ftw

Nah, ancient wheel with more recent glue residue.

1/ Carbon rims can be cleaned with acetone, if this doesn't work Effeto Mariposa makes an efficient dedicated cleaner

I've tried acetone for cleaning old tub glue, and never found it to be that effective. The EM Carogna remover is excellent, and smells of strawberries.

2/ Effeto Mariposa again makes a tape that is safe to use

I've used the Effeto Mariposa tape on my (as yet unused) cross tubs, never tried on road wheels. For road tubs I'm still old school and stick to Mastik One.

3/ You can put tubeless sealant for puncture protection, Caffe Latex seems to be the best, but Orange Seal (I have some left over) should be OK.

I've heard anecdotally that if you use a latex-based sealant in a tub with a latex inner tube it can cause the tube to stick to itself if the tyre goes completely flat. That's certainly Vittoria's advice on the subject. Having said that, I've never had that problem on tubs I've 'repaired' using Vittoria Pitstop cannisters, and I believe that the sealant in them is latex-based.

I'd sand that lightly too to create an even surface, building up layers is definitely a good thing for cross tubs

EM is great, although I've never managed to clean a rim with just one application

I know that several layers of glue will probably be the best, but it's a for an experiment on a wheel that will not go very far from home, not to go down mountains. I haven't got the tub yet anyway (if you have a singular non-matching road tub I'd be interested).

regluing a tub that was previously done by me with some care about 2 years ago:

is it jus ta case of applyign a generous layer to both tyre and rim and then popping back on as before?

Yes.

Have you been sniffing the tub glue?

dad?

Quite possibly.

ok dad, here's another question

i have a fullish bottle of ally rim glue but less than half a tube of carbon rim glue. the rim (and quite possibly rims) i need to glue are carbon and have carbon glue residue on them.

what would you do?

conti glue by the way.

can i have a sip of your beer?

Ditch the conti glue and buy some Vittoria Mastik.

I found a nice tub in my shed, I think Corsa CX or Pavé, who wants for free?

can i point out that i live in one of britain's forgotten towns and without generous handouts from the liberal metropolitan elite, there's a very good chance of me backing a rock-hard, no-questions-asked brexit?

haha, I totally get this sentiment but I am a brown immigrant who happens to be a metropolitan elite yuppie

you want? I hate posting but need to post something next week so could club that together

Yes, but don't tell your Mum.

Listen to that nice andyp, he knows things.

Ditch the conti glue and buy some Vittoria Mastik.

This.

i'll happily cover any costs you might incur, but i must insist that you do not take my money (even though it doesn't go as far in your local economy) and spend it on items have only ever seen in magazines

i'll think about mastik but nobody in my peer group uses it :(

lemme go in. the shed tomorrow I may have. more tubular shit, even a tin of mastik

you're a champ!

i used the conti ally glue for now
