Status: offline 		hi guys, i was out this weekend running my bike(nitro ducati) and a few trucks. with a buddy and his truck. so anyway after a few tanks my buddy asked to try it(i guess you know where this is going). after a few slow speed laps around the parking lot, he thought he had it. not, he ended up slamming into a curb.all that was broken were the steering servo horn and the front rim, not to bad. i ordered new ones from 2 wheel hobbies, anyway since this is my first bike tire, and aluminum rim. i was wondering what process and product you guys use to glue on your tires. i bought a rim and tire so both will be new. thanks for you help

This is how I do my tires, they dont come off. And to remove the tire when it worn out just let it soak in hot water, tire will come of fairly easy, slap on a new tire.
