Yes, exactly. I pulled off the tire and it was glued to the wheel. The bike shop guy said I would have to reglue it every time I got a flat.
I just bought the bike this morning so I don't know much about it... It was very cheap but the tires were completely frayed. The back tire says "COSMOS 700c" and also "matrix". On the inside where all the spokes come together it says "parallax"
It's just a regular old silver color... From 1994 I believe.
The bike shop guy recommeded just buying another 700c wheel. They were all pretty expensive though, so i wanted to do some research first. I am wondering if something like this could work:
