This is the best way to glue a new tire and new wheel. There are some slight changes to think about it you’re using a wheel or tire that already has some glue on it. In that case, you could more than likely avoid the initial layer of glue. With a new tire and a new rim you should apply a very thin layer of glue to both and let it dry before putting on the fresh stuff and mounting. Basic steps are as follows:
Step #1: Stretch the tire – you’ll want to put the tire on a rim and pump it up. Leave it for a few hours. This will stretch it out and make it much easier to apply once you’ve got the glue on.
Step #2. Seal the valve extender – if you’re using a rim that needs a valve extension you need to make sure the connection between valve and extender is good. There’s nothing worse than trying to pump a newly glued tired only to find out the air won’t go in. Use plumbers sealing tape as shown and MAKE SURE the presta valve is OPEN. Twist it open hard and even apply a very small dab of glue on the tip to keep it that way.
