The simplest solution I use which I learnt from Jon Leonard's dad (when Jon was in the top ten in Europe) was to do about six dots of thick glue around the wheel on either side, evenly spaced. This holds the tire on without any problems no matter what, and then when you need a new set just peel off and each dot of glue will either break away or leave a bit of rubber that you can cut away with a blade once removed.Job done and savings on money when you dont have a sponser.

is there any easy (tricks of the trade) way of removing tryes from the wheels which have been superglued on so i can use the wheels on a new set of tyres?

cheers
