Glue-n tires
Anyone have recommendations/PRO TIPS on how to glue tires. I've gone through two sets of rims and tires b/c I think my gluing technique in not that great. Here's the problem - I'm getting gaps where the tire meets the rim. 80% of the tires glues fine, but there's always part of each tire that dosent want to fit correctly in the rim. I'm using thin CA glue, RMP wheels, and rims.
Also - I just bought my 3rd pair of wheel/rim, and noticed that the tires are 24mm and the rims are 26mm before I open them, does anyone know if you can put 24mm tires on 26mm rims ?

I usually add a dab of CA glue about every thumb length all around the rin then just pull the tire into the glue for a good fit. That seems to work best for me.

I first put rubber bands on, then lift up the edge of the tire and put a dab of glue, the rubber bands will ensure that the edge gets down into the groove nice and far.
