What is gaffa tape and what does the wire do?
Very happy so far I got to run abit with the new tires on.
I also used the wire wrap, I think its needed.
So far no seperation and no problems.. Other than all the shredded grass and rocks flying around.
The tire was $35.
Haha, these are the tires I have on the front of my bike. :lol:
I think you are on to somthing if there was a way to cement better so you don't have to use wires, are you having any truble with those tires, what would you cherge to make a set for me????
I have a Firehammer and wonder if the Baja paddle tires could be used to retread some old Firehammer tires?
What do you guys think?
BTW - I went to Wal-Mart and saw some great bicycle tire options for $10 - $15.
you got it!!but use 2 wire wraps,one on the outer side of the tread and one on the inner... make sure you use a softer compound tyre up to 3 inch width.. as far as the beadlocks,they don't matter unless they interfere with the fitting of the "retread"prefa1,
Just to make certain I am not lost on this.
1) glue the foam to the wheel (contact adhesive)
2) apply the contact adhesive to the inside of a mountain bike tire after cutting it to size and to the outside of the foam.
3) roll the foam/wheel to the inside of the mountain bike tire.
4) wrap it all with heavy duty tape for about an hour.
5) tie wrap wire around the outside of the tire
If I have this correctly, the beadlocks really will serve no purpose, correct? But they should still be screwed on there.
As for welding the ends of the tire together, nothing has really worked I take it except for the wire holding the tire around the wheel. Too bad the wire can't be "threaded" around the entire tire....maybe possible and leave the loose ends around where the loose ends of the tire are?
Those tires look amazing! I really want to try this once my HPI's fall apart or go bald.
