Few things to throw in, I've read about people trying an external belt type thing. And I've also seen where the tire rips through the inside of the weave and just shreds itself.

So maybe we are trying to address the tire issue too much and ignoring other possibilities. The best quick solution I have would be to take some molded foams (and they must be very close to the profile of your tire inner) and glue them to the rim.

Then take some fiber tape and (loosely) wrap a few turns around the outside of the foam, where it is more or less flat across, then gluing the tire (possibly Gorilla glue, or similar) to the foam.

With the right glue you'd have some movement while the tire was being glued to the rim. One or two small air holes, and the glue should cure within a few days at the most.


Actually that needs tweaking, maybe tape around foam first (so you can still get the foam into the tire easily), then glue the foam, taped, inside the tire, get it nice and straight, and let it dry. Then glue the inside of the foam to the middle of the rim while gluing the tire bead to the rim.

Best I got at the moment....
