torker cx tire poped tonight please help!!!!

Use the same size tube as the one that popped. The pressure on the tire
is the pressure that you pump the tire up to. Before you replace the
tube, check to make sure that there aren't any spokes poking through
into the tube. Check that the rim strap covers all of the spoke heads,
and check the tire to make sure that there isn't any foreign object
embedded in it, like a nail, piece of glass etc.

There are some guides on the Internet that cover how to repair a flat
bike tire. Same info applies to unicycles.
'Park Tool: Removing and Installing Tires'
(http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQtires.shtml)
'Park Tool: Repairing Tubes'
(http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQGP2.shtml)

'Sheldon Brown: What Every Cyclist Should Know About Flat Tires'
(http://www.sheldonbrown.com/flats.html)

The guides go into a lot of detail and make it look more difficult than
it actually is. Don't let the length of the guides and the details put
you off. Replacing a tire on a Torker CX is easy. Some other tire and
rim combinations are difficult (Coker and Airfoil, Alex DX32 trials, and
some others). The Torker CX is an easy one.

The important part is to figure out what caused the flat and fix that
problem if it's going to cause another flat. Things like spoke holes
exposed, the rim strip out of place, and spokes that are too long can be
a source of flats and those types of problems need to be fixed before
you put in the new tube.

There is no glue involved unless you're patching the old tube and then
you're only gluing on a small tube patch. If you're starting with a
brand new tube there is no glue involved.
