So I stopped being neurotic about it, left some glue on the rim and called it a day. I haven't rolled that tire off the rim yet! Yes, it's a pain in the butt to scrape but it worked.<br/><br/>Good luck and metal nail files work great - so do screw drivers!<br/><br/>Jen Hey Brian,
Welcome to the trackie world. :) Last summer I spent countless hours scrapping off glue from my Zipps only to find out that they don’t have to be that clean – the re-glued tube needs something to stick to, right? So I stopped being neurotic about it, left some glue on the rim and called it a day. I haven’t rolled that tire off the rim yet! Yes, it’s a pain in the butt to scrape but it worked.

Good luck and metal nail files work great – so do screw drivers!
