Sorry guys...I keep getting an error when I search oOple.
I figured out how to cut down a front Dex210 rim to correct width for the Shumi tires.. What I am not sure on is how to ca it to the rim. Do I glue the "outer bead" to the inner lip of the tire? Looks like if I do this I will need to float in some glue in between the bead and the mounting lip of the tire...then rubber band the hell out of them to get the two bits to stick together. This should essentially make a tire that looks like its banded to the rim (similar to a touring car tire).

Other option is to just glue the mounting bead (part that touches the rim) to the wheel ..but I am not sure how I will get ca in there.

Sorry if this has been covered before...
Thanks for any information.

It was a while ago I did mine but I think I pulled the outside tire lip into the middle over the rim lip that way it pushes the inner tire lip against the inside rim lip. I glued that first then the outside
HIHs and its understandable
