Hello Ken, while most CA glues (Gorilla included.) do a good  job on urethanes (your groups tire of choice), I  think that the vast majority of folks here run rubber tires, which do have a different composition, and do generate considerably more lateral load.

3M have some interesting looking products that may be good: All listed as used for rubber and metal (amongst other materials)

Hi Chris,

Gorilla glue also works on rubber. But thanks for pointing that out.

Graham's test should prove to be very interesting.

Warm Regards,
Ken

I can think of all kinds of “if’s & butts” with this, and it will be important to do this by applying the adhesive’s with the same preparation and in exactly the same way etc. 

I am primarily interested in the glue’s “longevity with adhesion to the hubs” as this is clearly the issue I have seen with the proxy. Although I would say the failure I have seen has equally applied to adhesion to the tyre compound.

I can certainly see from my industrial experience that different products might work better on different tyre compounds and on different hub alloys etc. Equally important will be the method of preparation of the hubs and/or the tyre compounds and there is a few tricks I can use in regard to this which I could employ.

So there could be a series of different tests to be done, but initially I will start with the simplest method of solvent clean and dry, using the same hubs and same tyre compound.

I have added Kevan’s Uhu to the list.

Works well but takes a little time to cure.
Good for initial fitting. 
Not so good for track side inter-heat quick fixes.

Takes longer to cure on nsr reds for some reason

I am surprised that no one mentioned using Permabond adhesives, they appear to be on a par with Locktite regarding their extensive range of Engineering Adhesives.

I've recently bought some Soudial high viscosity superglue which I have used on my most recent tyre work.

Quite liked the high viscosity as it goes where you place it rather than just run away to the low points.
