| 1205.2 | COUPLE OF OTHER SUGGESTIONS | AKOV11::FULLER | | Wed Jun 14 1989 09:34 | 4 |
| Cross-country ski wax remover also works as well as some more potent
petro- based fuels. Glue remover works the best however.

| 1205.4 | never have removed old glue | ORCHRD::GARABEDIAN | | Wed Jun 14 1989 13:21 | 9 |

I never remove the old glue. I just use some more. I have never
had a tubular come off in 14 years of riding tubulahs.
Just one man's opinion.

One advantage of this method, besides saving time/temper is that after
gluing on about a dozen tubulars, you no longer NEED a tubular, just
ride on the accumulated glue :-).
Actually, I almost never de-glue my rims either.....

Seriously, you should not remove the old glue, but simply glue the new
glue over it. If you end up with too much after about ten years of
glueing, you can save on glue by by using a blow torch to heat the
glue rather than adding new gook. You will find that this holds alot
better than glue on a naked rim does.
In fact it is a good practice to put a base level of glue on the new
rims, let it dry and then put moreglue on before the sewup.
I have never de-glued my rims either.....

| 1205.7 | Clean it when it starts plugging up all the spoke holes | CESARE::JOHNSON | At home he feels like a tourist | Thu Jun 15 1989 07:09 | 8 |
| The one time I had a new wheel built for me in Italy, it already
had a bead of glue on it when I picked it up. Another time, when
I flatted without a spare (2nd flat that day), and had to go into
a shop, the owner wouldn't let me buy a new tubular, but gave me
a used one that had been glued several times. As he explained,
a clean rim and a new tubular are a dangerous combination.

| 1205.8 | CLEAN THE SIDES OF THE RIM!!! | AKOV11::FULLER | | Thu Jun 15 1989 09:41 | 8 |
| I agree with the previous replys. When I do clean my rims completely
(very seldom) I but a base coat, let dry, then another coat before
putting on a tire. Cleaner is needed by me, however, to clean the
sides of the rims. This will prevent premature stopping.
When I am riding, I always carry tubular rim tape in case I have a flat.

| 1205.9 | use paste paint remover, works great (less filling...) | HPSCAD::CANFIELD | | Thu Jun 15 1989 15:23 | 7 |
| I agree with the previous replies about leaving SOME glue on, but
when you do need to remove it, the best and cheapest stuff to use
is the NONflamable paste paint remover. It is easy to use and will
not run all over the place. ONE WORD OF CAUTION!!!! DO NOT DO
THIS NEAR YOUR BIKE, UNLESS YOU PLAN ON REPAINTING IT!!!!!!
