FAQs
How much cement should I apply?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tube. Generally, a thin, even layer is applied to both the rim and the tire base. Ensure the surfaces are completely covered.
How long should I wait before riding after applying the cement?
Allow the cement to dry completely, typically 24 hours, before riding. This ensures the strongest bond.
Can I use this cement on carbon rims?
No, this cement is specifically designed for alloy rims. Using it on carbon rims may not provide a secure bond. Use carbon-specific cement.
How should I store the cement?
Store the cement in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the tube is properly sealed to prevent it from drying out.
What should I do if the tire is misaligned during application?
Carefully remove the tire, clean the cement from both surfaces, and reapply. Ensure the tire is correctly aligned before pressing it onto the rim.
Can I use a different brand of tire with this cement?
Yes, as long as the tire is a tubular tire. The cement is designed to work with all brands of tubular tires.
What is the shelf life of the cement?
The shelf life of the cement is typically listed on the tube. Always check the expiration date before use.
How do I remove an old tire?
Carefully pry the tire off the rim, starting at the valve stem. Use a tire lever if necessary. Clean any remaining cement residue from the rim before applying a new tire.
Troubleshooting
Tire not sticking to the rim.
Ensure both the rim and tire surfaces are clean. Apply a sufficient amount of cement and allow adequate drying time.
Tire is difficult to mount.
Apply a thin layer of cement to both surfaces. Ensure the tire is properly aligned before pressing it onto the rim.
Cement appears to be drying too quickly.
Work in a well-ventilated area, and apply the cement quickly and evenly. Consider the environmental temperature and humidity as these may affect drying times.
