I was wouldn't mind trying some of this on my new CX wheels instead of gluing them, but there's not many reviews online

Anyone used it and what do u think? Will it survive a winter of muddy 'cross racing?

Try it and come back to us at the end of the season ๐Ÿ˜†
Seriously though I stuck some MTB tubs on with it (they weren't mine) a few weeks ago and was very impressed with how easy it was to use and how well stuck on they seemed.
On the other hand one of the lads I race CX with part-rolled a tub stuck on with Carogna during the first race of the season.
No idea how it'll handle a full season of mud and jewashing, nor how easy it'll be to remove from the tub after the season for re-doing next year. I'm waiting for everyone else to try it before I move from glue.

I have tried it but so far only on road tubs. Seems to provide a very solid bond and as above very straightforward to apply. Will be using it to stick on some CX tubs this week so will report back later... As with gluing anything, prep is key - you want to get the rim surface completely clean and glue it up in a clean environment. Wait until fully cured before using.

Bump for the evening crowd

Any more experience with this stuff? Got my tubs and wheels ready but not sure whether to get gluing or order a couple of rolls of this!
