If you can find it, Tufo's Rim Cleaner is the stuff to use. I had a mix of glue and tape on my Boras when I got them, and nothing was making a dent in the crap (acetone, alcohol, turpentine, white spirit, hair dryer, the lot. All useless).Rim Cleaner carved through the lot in nothing flat. Just don't use it inside - it's pretty noxious stuff.
Ps. Don't use tape. Just don't. Conti carbon cement or Vitoria Mastik One. It's strangely therapeutic to glue your tyres, and mounting them isn't too hard (apply a coat of glue to the tyre just before mounting, inflate to maybe 25psi max, spin and centre the tyre by eye. Once done, inflate to 150, ride once around the block and leave for 24h to cure. Easy).
Cool thanks.
It's my first set of tubs, so still trying to figure out whats what. Might take your advice and skip the tape then. What are some of the fastest tubs out there, Vottoria Corsa Speed seems to be a popular choice? I was running Continental TT clinchers before which I really liked. Is there a tubular equivalent, couldn't see anything on interweb.
I have to say this does seem a bit like 1950s technology, gluing tyres, but am always keen to try different shit.
