I used evostik glue remover. Had to let it soak in and then it scraped off using a piece of plastic.

Did this last week when changed to my Summer tyres. I couldn't get WD40 to work but I thought it would :?

Thank you, all.

I tried most, but Rob was right and ...

In the end, I went to my local Romanians, who used (a very little) hydrochloric acid diluted with water and the wheel then thoroughly washed with water.

Use it sparingly Rob or you'll melt your frames.
