Steve, you are right, one should not put glue on and
ride right away, even though I do - - but I do very
carefully. I don't glue the entire rim, just a dot
between each spoke-nipple hole. The old glue is left
to "hold" on most of the rest of the rim surface. When
I get home and pull the tire off, the "new" glue is
very tacky and has lots of stick. But, you're totally
right. If you coat the rim, al la the Saran wrap
spread job described ealier, your tire will roll off
the rim and into your break and give you a stop that
you will never forget. Tom James Chicago--- Stephen
