I'm getting ready to put a tire inside a tire then an extra thick storm-proof slime to on a older XTR front Rim with flat spokes with Rim brakes. And going to use rim glue . Any tips
Chalo said:Choose one. Don't use glop if you're going to double up the tire. Also, slime will defeat glue, so don't bother using both.
Are you sure you need to glue your tire on? If the tire and rim are clean and not fouled with sealant, and the tire has adequate pressure, it won't slip. But add some leaked sealant and let your pressure get low, and you're asking for trouble.

So it still in the garage and still leaks.I just bought 4 . So have 2 more used but still good. As I had so many I just used new ones with new tire.

Chalo said:In my observation, no textile belt will stop a wire or a thorn. Those things push fibers aside. They work against things like sharp rocks or pieces of metal. Might help with nails and screws, but that would depend somewhat on how sharp and pointy they are.
I imagine that a liner that effectively prevented puncture by such things would resist conforming to the tire's shape, would gnaw holes in the tube, and would ride poorly. Two of these problems would be mitigated by using the belt inside the tire layup, rather than as an add-on.
