Kind of what I was thinking.

I would soak in mineral spirits and use a residue/sticker removal wheel

I found it works better if you apply it and then put the wheel in a garbage bag and seal it. It may take several tries.

I’ve rigged up one of the sks racer blades upside down on my trying stand and filled the trough with solvent. Give it slow spins “outside” for an hour or two as you clean the garage/car/bike. Works great!

Just don’t spin it fast!

That looks like a handy tool to own.

Looks like work for a rainy day. I like mjb’s fender trough…might have to try that next time.

It ends up being ridiculously easy…to the point where all the glue is loosened up and then you really go after the last tiny bit.

If I could get these at the Euro list price then I'd be very tempted to do a rim swap. But they're at least double the price over here.

Don't soften it with anything. Spin it in a truing stand and use a box cutter. Shave it.

Carogna remover just made it worse. And red.

Rim swap with an old stretcher.
