Tyre removal from rims
What is peoples preferred method of removing tyres from rims so that the rims can be reused?
Acetone, heat gun or wrapping in foil and baking in the oven.

Acetone
There are few threads about it Don't use the oven as the super glue turns to cyanide apparently |

Cut centre of tyre off. Remove foam.
Rice steamer. Or Big pan of water. Boil for 20 to 30 mins. Comes off clean

Does this happen when you are using the Oople App? If so if you look at the top of the page there are 2 tabs the 1st is 'Oople' and the 2nd is 'Search' This should work P.S. I cut the tires off the rims, remove the insert and drop the wheel in acetone. Works perfect as well as getting the wheels shinny and clean again Regards Sam

I cut tyre down both sidewalls and remove the rubber then remove the insert. Put the rims into an airtight plastic container with around 50ml of acetone (its the fumes that do the work so no need to submerge). Seal up and leave for about 2 days. The fumes will have broken down the superglue and the remaining rubber should come off the rims with ease. There may be some glue residue which you can remove with a cloth. Dip the cloth in the remaining acetone in the plastic container and wipe away.

Acetone all the way.
Have tried boiling. Acetone is the best way. But you need industrial level stuff. You'll find on the internet. Don't buy the stuff for removing nail polish that stuffs weak arse.
These guys are good and cheap. http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/CFS...etone_533.html

I get a bigish sealable plastic container, preferably an air tight one and put about an inch of acetone in and then stack the tyres, but not on top of one another, more like a brick wall effect where youll get an air flow to all areas of the tyre. Leave for five days and in a sink take out and pull off old tyres and use a scouring pad to remove the residue from the wheel and rinse off. Job done.

i didn't realise it was the vapour! i've been immersing them in about a gallon of acetone for a couple of days. I reuse the acetone, but i'm interested to hear that the vapour is sufficient!
Doh.

If you fully immerse them you do not need to clean the wheels up after but you'll get through a load of acetone

Here's the acetone I bought

Acetone works great. I just did about 20 pairs of rims. I put about a finger deep amount in a baking tin, remove the centre of the tyre and the insert then put them in and seal it up (I tend to flip mine when I do it after about 12 hours) There is a place called Beauty Warehouse near my house that sells PURE Acetone that is not dyed or anything. Works a treat for about £2 a bottle.

I just go to the local DIY place and buy either 500ml, 1, 5 or 12.5 litres.
Think the 5l cost about 150 sek, so about 14 quid...... Though i only get one litre at a time, lasts me a couple of years. |

25 litre fermentation bucket from Wilko's, some wire mesh for the tyres to sit on, and some lengths of pipe for the mesh to sit on.
Half inch of lab grade acetone (from Ebay) in the bottom, throw the wheels and tyres in and leave for 72 hours in the vapours, and they'll pull off the rims. Any superglue residue can be brushed off with a a wire brush as soon as it dries.
