tire ungluing question

bake them in the oven, 400-450 for about 10 minutes. works like a charm, stinks though
#3
ACETONE: Get a jug of it and some plastic containers. Put some in the containers and drop the wheels and tires in. Give it about 24 hours and the tires will be off. Be sure to put the tops on all the containers. The acetone will evaporate without them.

bake in an oven at 180°c (350°f) for 15 mins, then drop in a bucket of water to cool them off. the glue should let go quite easy then... If you've got some thick rubber gloves, it works better while hot. Just be carefully as the foams will tear very easy while hot... Then soak the rims and tires in acetone to dissolve the remaining glue
(acetone will demount tires alone by soaking them but it will also destroy the foams)

well, if your in a bind and your LHS sucks like mine you have to re-use the foams

i used to try and save tires by remounting and what not....but eventually got sick of doing it and just buy new....IMO its worth it to have BRAND new tires for the mains.

If you use the Acetone method, and want to save the foams, Carefully slide out the rims while leaving the foam untouched in the tire. When the foam is soaked with acetone, it's very mushy. Set the tires and foams aside, let the acetone evaporate out of the foams as much as possible before handling or you will easily tear the foam.
