    If there is no damage to a tub - when, if ever, should you reglue it to the rim?

    Any time you like as long as you remove any large chunks of glue.Put on a new run of glue around the rim and tub and you will get a better bond than you had the first time because of the old glue.

    Yes. Broken spoke replacement. A lot of tub wheel require you to remove for re truing.

    edit: Ooops, I understand now. Yes there is a need to re glue, as the old glue will (usually) not be sticky enough to prevent the tub rolling off. Fitting and not re gluing should only be used for roadside emergency

    But how often?!??!?

    If the bond seems okay is there a mileage or time limit?

    FWIW (not much) I was curious and bored so I googled a bit.

    The consensus seems to be that it is time- and storage-dependent, after 18-24 months the glue eventually dries up and gets brittle, but if you can't easily pull the tub off when a bit underinflated then it's OK. I don't see any opinions on whether the drying out changes RR or just safety.

    If I was doing flattish tri/TT I probably wouldn't bother, and if I had the choice of leaving a expertly-glued tub on or regluing it myself (badly) I'd leave it on.

    Disc is fine.
    Front 404 isn't glued solid completely at the sides.
    Rear 808 has become separated from the base tape.

    Feck it.

    Jaysus Tunney, you're going to be fairly busy with gluing and changing chains ! :)

    Least of my worries :)

    Last time the front 404 was used was in IM Kona and hasn't been ridden since, might just go with it.

    Still have to decide on reglueing 808 or using disc.
