Cyclops tyre glue & bonding agent

Cyclops have an updated line of tyre gluing accessories available. The purple medium glue is a 100cst viscosity product and after demand from customers the glue is now available in a new, improved bottle. New to the line is the blue thin glue of 25cst viscosity that offers the same elasticity and bonding capabilities as the original purple formula but is thinner allowing the chemical to penetrate gaps faster and also to dry faster. Last but not least is the Cyclops primer which is used to prime the surface of both the tyre and rim for perfect bond. It also is a surface cleaner used instead of ammonia, alcohol or break cleaner. 1/10 EP touring car drivers have also found in many case the primer/cleaner to be used as a tyre additive or as a primer agent for the additive.
