If someone got a safe method so I don’t destroy a 1 month old zipp carbon rim it would be appreciated.
I want to remove the Vittora glue and add the Tufo extreme tape. I am getting tire of messy gluing process. The Tufo tape works well enough.
I wonder what the Pros Teams use. They got to have some kind of special method. Anyone knows?
Have you tried applying heat? (heat gun... like to remove paint) maybe try experimenting on a piece of metal or carbon first... my guess is the glue is kind of a contact type cement... just throwing this out there so... don't trust me on this one. I DO NOT HAVE TUBULARS but have been doing research to see if that is what i want in the future...
Hope it helps
