Review by FlatlanderReviewed 4/29/2019by FlatlanderCycling EnthusiastSacramento, CAIt Works For MeAs far as I can tell, there are about as many ways to glue on a tubular tire as there are people who do it. For a new tire on a previously glued rim that works out to about 4 coats, 3 on the tire and one on the rim, over at least 3 days, for me. One tube did the job. I only have one set of tubular rims, so I don't do it very often, so one tube at a time is enough for me. This stuff always works, even for an amateur.

Review by RickReviewed 9/22/2014by RickCycling EnthusiastPA Endless Mountains5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Can't beat Conti Rim CementProduct goes on easily, dries clear, and sticks very well. What I like best about the Conti cement is that is does not squeeze out between the tire and rim once inflated. I am a former Cat 3 racer now over the hill.

Review by Geezer BikerReviewed 8/9/2018by Geezer BikerCycling EnthusiastSonoma County, CAWorked better than I rememberedI have ridden sew ups for 35 years and recently resurrected some old wheel sets for my vintage steel bikes. I hadn't mounted a sew up in many years but the Continental tape worked great, didn't smear (much) and the tires are secure on the rims. Great product. Kudos to BTD for still carrying an antiquated product!

Review by ChristopherdartReviewed 10/9/2014by ChristopherdartCompetitive RacerMiddle Haddam, CTCan't complain about this product. Great for gluing tubulars to rim. The tire is still holding. I'll see how it holds up in the Jamestown Classic, next Monday.

glue on tubular tire rims
Review by rrwms28Reviewed 6/10/2013by rrwms28Cycling EnthusiastSF Bay Area2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Works as stated.All sewup glue is messy, Continental glue is clear and doesn't stand out as much. I had to remove 20 year old glue from a rim and it come off easily with citrus solvent. It holds the tire on the rim and that is all I ask of it.

Review by ChristophReviewed 7/26/2012by ChristophCompetitive RacerSilver Spring MarylandContinental cement remains the racer's choice Continental Cement is my standard of choice for training and racing tires. Compared to other major brands it lays down very nicely. Other brands tend to be too thick and harder to manage. One tube is sufficient for two tires. I use it on my carbon rims without worry. Instead of a single base layer on the carbon rim, I use two thin layers. Continental cement has never failed me in over 20 years of riding and racing.

Review by G.landReviewed 7/13/2012by G.landCompetitive RacerSanta Rosa,CaTried and true. I have been glueing tubies for 10 years. Started with conti glue. Tried the carbon glue which was fine and am now back with the tried and true.

Review by CharleyReviewed 3/12/2012by CharleyCycling EnthusiastTucson, AZ1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I have been using this glue for 25 years and always feel confident that it will perform. I like knowing that my tires are on the rim nice and secure. That is the reason I choose continental rim glue.

Review by Dan WarringtonReviewed 8/30/2012by Dan WarringtonCompetitive RacerCedar Falls, Iowa1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I applied the material per the manufacturers recommendation of a single layer per side, and it sets up too quickly to be able to move once it touches the carbon rim.I applied per Continentals recommendations for this carbon fiber application. The cement dries too quickly to allow for final alignment of the tire to side and particulary around perimeter. It ended up to be loose at stem end, while stretched at other for tire to be out-of-round. The new tubular failed at stem 30 miles into a road race... !!! I may try applying two coats, or to use cement intended for aluminum rims as another friend of mine did, I believe successfully. I would appreciate any suggestions. I have applied over one hundred sew-ups a few years ago without any problems for team members.
