For riders who want the highest adhesion, we recommend glue , for riders who want clean and easy removal and re-fit, we recommend the glue and tape method. One benefit that the \"Tape and Glue\" method has is a completely clean removal process, leaving no residue, allowing for immediate re-mounting without any cleaning or tidying up needed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTALK ME THROUGH EACH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGLUING A TYRE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen we glue a tyre, our general process is as follows\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a layer of Rim Cement \/ Glue to the Rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait approx 4 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply another layer of Rim Cement \/ Glue to the Rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a layer to the tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWait approx 1 hour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply another layer of Rim Cement \/ Glue to the Tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow Tyre to \"Tack\" and prepare to mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a thin wet layer to the Rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Tyre and align\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflate to Maximum PSI minus 10% (EG Vittoria 217psi would be 195PSI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-Align if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAPING AND GLUING A TYRE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tape and glue method is very similar to the above, but can be done sooner, and be ridden even earlier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply base tape to Rim (Includes trimming a valve hole provision)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply 1 layer of glue to tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount tyre onto base tape (Non-Stick backing is still in place under the tyre)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign Tyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove base tape and ensure alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflate to Maximum PSI minus 10% (EG Vittoria 217psi would be 195PSI)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW LONG BEFORE I CAN RIDE MY TYRE?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we have glued and shipped your tyre, it'll be ready to go when it arrives, but typically if we glue a tyre, we recommend around 18-24 hours in a warm (25°c environment) to allow the glue to correctly set and adhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Taped tyres, we usually recommend 18-24 hours, however we have seen riders tape a rim and immediately re-enter the track within 1-2 hours, and start racing. Whilst we don't recommend immediate use, taping and gluing allows for much faster adhesion. The glue still requires a small amount of activation so in a warm environment, this is achieved quickly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS INCLUDED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe supply Glue (We typically use Challenge Rim Cement or Vittoria Mastik, as they're cross-compatible and easy to access) and Tape for either service, and this is reflected in the cost.
