I've glued hundreds of tires on with 3M Fastack with no problems. I
doubted the glue myself before my ex-workmate Bob Zumwalt told me to use
it. Bob's raced the track and glued sew-ups much longer than I've been
alive, so I believed him. Sure enough 12 years later I'm still using it.
On occasion I'll use some other glue, but in the end it doesn't work any
better. The last non-Fastack glue I used was the Vittoria and it's just
another glue. I've also used it in the past and it works as well as
anything else. The only reason to use the Clement Red is if for some
reason you don't ride your bikes much and keep the same tires on a bike
for years.
