    I had the same problem with my SLR saddle. I used the same
    glue that I use for patching tubes. I think it's called
    rubber cement. For it to work properly apply the glue and
    wait for it to dry and then press the two pieces together.

    Stop by shoemaker's. They have the right adhesives.

    Barge brand rubber cement - shoe makers use it.

    I highly recommend 3M Hi-Tack.

    This 3M product is excellent and is called weather stripping
    glue in Canada. Some riders use it to glue on tubies. Once
    the tire is on it will be difficult to get off. If you try
    to take the tire off you can easily ruin the rim tape making
    the tire unuseable.
