Unpopable tires?

[Rayzor]

I bought self sealing tubes and am now putting gorilla tape on the part that contacts the tire in 2 inch overlapping segments as to make it more flexible, hopefully it creates a super strong tube

i think this is the pic... lol

 

[...ladies]

When you pump it up will the tape wrinkle the tube?

nah, i pumped them up, then put on the tape

 

[...ladies]

How are you going to get the tire on then though? lol

 

[Rayzor]

that, my friend, i have yet to find out... sounds like a fun challenge though

 

[...ladies]

Ha sounds impossible. Why not just like the tires with the tape??

 

[Rayzor]

the tires should be ok. If i wrapped them in tape it would be like riding a wet bar of soap in a shower... i would be all over the place.

 

[...ladies]

No no no. Line the inside of the tires with the tape. Not the outside lol.

 

[Rayzor]

lol ooohhhhhhh.... thats good too

 

[...ladies]

Ha i'm going to do it once i get mine. I might get those really thick tubes too. I with thinking of foam but idk if its big enough

 

[Rayzor]

im still waiting on my new tires, but as soon as i put the new tubes and tires in, ill let you know if they are any good, maybe run over some glass or something lol

I'm just going to line my tires with alot of tape. Because i don't think there is a standard tube big enough for my 2.125 inch wide rims..

The tubes i bought are for 1.9-2.125 inch tires

Ya. Turns out they were posted wrong. I mean the rims are really wide. but nowhere near 2.125. Thats wider than my 250cc dirtbike wheels. lol. Sweet rims though. Standard tube like you got fits and same tires fit. heavy 12guage spokes. Only 20 bucks too!

 

[Rayzor]

Sweet! only 20? thas pretty good =)

 

[...ladies]

Ya check out amazon. Shipping was the killer though. It ended up being like $65. But still a great deal for both rims. I didn't realize how long it took to prep them. Few clear coats to prevent rust, zip tieing the spokes, and taping the inside took longer than expected lol

 

[Rayzor]

i ended up spending 67 bucks on tires, they better be really..... really..... really... good tires lol

 

[...ladies]

Wow on tires? lol. I spent 26 on tires and 20 on tubes.
