Continental Rim Cement - Tubular Glue

When you are looking at this item, be sure to notice that it is for Carbon rims, not Alloy rims. There is a glue for Alloy rims also

I've been gluing tubulars for quite a few years using Vittoria and Continental glue. Never had a problem and never rolled or had one of my friends roll a tub I had glued on. I was gluing a new set of Conti Sprinters to a new set of carbon wheels.THIS STUFF IS HORRIBLE!!!!!! I watched the video, followed the directions,was skeptical as the process went against my better judgment,) but hey Conti knows what it is doing. At the 12 hr mark the glue on rim and tire was hard and almost crystallized. No tackiness whatsoever. I put the final (2nd) coat on the base tape, put the tire on the rim, etc, pumped them up to cure - let them cure 48 hrs.When I inspected the tires there was almost no bond - at all!!!! There was about 6 inches of weak bond, then 4 or so inches of no bond - all around both tires. The tubulars pulled right off the rim with one plastic tire lever like I was stripping a clincher tire off a rim.Do not use this stuff.

perfect for bonding tubular tires to any carbon fiber rim, comes with complete set of instructions for application and mounting tire to rim.

Marketed only 1 layer necessary but I would do 2x at least and 1 on tire. Barely enough glue for 3 costs. Glue dried really quickly so very room for error. It took me 3 tubes to do 2 wheels because I wasn't exact. Once you take the tire on and off the glue gets all messed up

Who wants to take a chance of having your tire roll off? In a race, it could mean a ban for a period of time plus whatever mayhem you cause. So I use the best stuff. Not cheap. But if you buy the large one with screw top, it'll not go bad or get lost like the smaller tubes do.

Got here quick wich was perfect!

Why mess about?

(Amazon user's husband posting) Pro cycling mechanic; I've glued more tubulars than I can count. I ran out of Vitoria MASTIK glue and needed some (glue) quickly for a glue job for a client. I saw Continental glue and figured: "Man, if Continental is making glue too, it's got to be good!" WRONG. I cannot attest yet for the glue's holding tires on rims yet, as I finish stage 3 of the glue job yesterday. I will say, that doing the pre-application to rim and cloth on tire, then the final coat on tire, that it would be easier to apply an even coat of chunky peanut butter to a wheel! The texture is AWFUL. It does not spread like tubular glue should! It's terrible. I eventually had to use an old, hard-bristled toothbrush to apply it, and even then it was lumpy. I had thought about thinning it, but there is no information anywhere on what Continental (good luck getting them on the phone) recommends for thinning it. Stay away.
