Try E6000. It's industrial strength. Comes in different flavors depending on
materials. Had some separation from a tear last yea in Bend. This did the
trick.

I just did this with a set of Limus'. I just cleaned the area to be reattached really well and then treated it as though it was a standard gluing situation. a little bit of glue on each surface, let it tack-up a bit, then reapply and let it tack-up again. then applied one last layer of glue and pressed the two pieces together. then i took electrical tape and, starting from the tread side, pulled it down over the casing and attached it to the rim. let it dry over night and when i peeled the tape off, i started at the tread side and peeled towards the rim.

I have a challenge Fango tire. After Sunday's race in Bend (seems like this course would be hard on tires), I noticed a couple of spots where the edge of the tread has detached from the casing. About 0.5 to 1.0 length of the edge. Otherwise the tires are fine. I was just going to superglue the spots. Any suggestions or does this sound okay?
