I have always had my spared pre-glued. Let it dry and it is good to go incase of problems. Roll that sucker up and if you should need it, the heat of the tire should heat up the glue and make it stick but take the corners easy.

Did you prestretch it? I put my spare on any wheel not my Zipps to stretch it for a few days...then I just put a ziplock bag on my finger and put some on all the way around the tire. Then fold it up to make it fit in my underseat bag.

Hopefully you won't need it
