I'll be using harbor freight pneumatic casters on my next one.

I have a box with several pairs in it that I picked up at Northern Tool. For some reason, casters seem to be an item they throw in the clearance bin, so I keep my eyes open for them. The are usually less than $5 when they are on clearance. NT has a lot of them not on clearance, as well, in about any size you could want. I mostly put them on the bottom of work tables.

theres a pic of a spincycle with pneumatic tires on it in the gallery. seems like a good idea. i know the spinner aint designed for cruisin, but bigger squishier tires would make jaunts more enjoyable. and quieter, i imagine.

my neighbor really wants one, so thats probly whats gonna be happening when i get the streetfighter done. or maybe i could just teach HIM to weld.... hmmmm.....

Although I have to finish it - imagine how this crazy beast will ride....

That is no wheelchair wheel - it is an authentic 1980's SkyWay Tuffwheel from an oldskool BMX.

You can actually still get them here...
