Tyre removal from rims

[cheapskate]

What is peoples preferred method of removing tyres from rims so that the rims can be reused?
Acetone, heat gun or wrapping in foil and baking in the oven.

Acetone

There are few threads about it

Don't use the oven as the super glue turns to cyanide apparently

Cut centre of tyre off. Remove foam.


Rice steamer.

Or

Big pan of water. Boil for 20 to 30 mins.

Comes off clean

Hi
Does this happen when you are using the Oople App?
If so if you look at the top of the page there are 2 tabs the 1st is 'Oople' and the 2nd is 'Search'

This should work

P.S. I cut the tires off the rims, remove the insert and drop the wheel in acetone. Works perfect as well as getting the wheels shinny and clean again

Regards Sam

I cut tyre down both sidewalls and remove the rubber then remove the insert. Put the rims into an airtight plastic container with around 50ml of acetone (its the fumes that do the work so no need to submerge). Seal up and leave for about 2 days. The fumes will have broken down the superglue and the remaining rubber should come off the rims with ease. There may be some glue residue which you can remove with a cloth. Dip the cloth in the remaining acetone in the plastic container and wipe away.
