View Full Version : quick question
i was looking again over your vehicles today...
and i wonder how you do the spoking of the car-rim
as cars do not have any tubes (at least here ;))
how do you get this rim to not leak any air?
do you put a tube inside, if so which kind?

car tube!
seriously. back in the day they used em. still do in trailers, i think.
an option that i think would work is to use a motorcycle rim and tire. i think that would be REALLY cool- and with the more round profile, seems like it would lean better. but i dont know much about em- im sure theres a reason AZ didnt build it like that.

Yeah, you can still get car tire inner tubes at tire stores. That's what I did.
They sold me the biggest tube they had, cuz the tire was huge, with a 12 inch wide footprint! :eek:

Yeah we did use those "back in the day". And there are still conditions/places that cause them to be needed. Anytime your driving on a surface area that causes regular damage to the tire. Junk yards and construction sites come to mind.

Those cheapo space saver wheels look like a good one.
Skinny (for a car) tyre, but round profile.
