Well I went bashing today and a section of the tire fell apart. Oops. There goes the re glue part. I'll probably go to the LHS and just try to get either one premount wheel/tire or two. Shucks.Dismounting an old tire from a wheel can be tough. But can be done. The wheels should be in good re-usable condition to make it worth the effort. They have to be clean of any old rubber and CA to be effectively re-glued to a new tire. Can be time consuming and messy. But also can save you money.That's why people go with pre-mounts or buy new wheels and new tires separately and glue them. Fast and easy. Premounts cost only a little more. But again I feel aren't the best when glued at manufacturing. IMO.
I just find that when you glue your own tires and wheels, they rarely come apart. But I've been gluing wheels for many years back when Pre-mounts were not commonly found like today. Many excellent videos on tire gluing and dismounting.
