Schwalbe has been informed by a supplier that some tins of the tubular tire adhesive "Tubular Cement" may be contaminated and the adhesive may no longer have sufficient adhesive strength. Only 180 g cans with the production code 110509 are affected (see illustration). Glue purchased before May 2011 is definitely not affected.

Schwalbe is asking specialist dealers not to use glue with this production code. Such cans can be returned to Schwalbe or disposed of directly on site. The specialist dealer will receive a replacement immediately free of charge on presentation of appropriate proof. If the adhesive has already been used, Schwalbe will instruct the customer to check whether the tire is really securely fixed to the wheel. Schwalbe informs them that it will arrange for a replacement and bear the full costs for this.www.schwalbe.com
