Hi
What should I use to clean rim cement off my carbon rims ? I have dirtied the rims here and there while fitting new tubs.

    White Spirit, a hair dryer and a lolly-pop stick (blunt stick to remove excess glue around spoke holes). Works for me every-time.

    If the tyres are stuck to the rims, I've avoid using any solvent unless you want to 'kill' your tubs. Stick to 'mechanical' means only e.g. plastic or wooden scraper plus judicious use of heat - hand-hot only.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Pure Acetone from a Hair dressers wholesaler- some have a "public" sales counter,
    you r not soaking the wheel, just wetting a clothing an rubbing of the exess glue.
