COUNTDOWN TO MY NEW HEAVYWEIGHT- the diary

Should i use mountain bike type tyres and then wrap it around the tyre, or cut it up into bits, sorry about this but i want to avoid trial and error and ruining the wheels.

What we did for Project II was taking 1 motorcross tire, cut off the flanks and screwed the running surface on the HDPE wheel.

For Tough As Nails we did simular, but used motor race tires.

I still prefer the motorcross tire.

If you use a small tire, as from a mountain bike,and have wide wheels then spiraling it around the wheel screwing it on the wheel .

my wheel/tyres on my machine are inch and a half wide off memory, and it has 2 of them on each side, with about an inch gap between both wheels

I use cheap mountain bike tyres on Knightmare, and have plenty of grip. You have to cut off the side walls on the tyre so it will wrap around easier. I just screw them straight in to the rubber on the wheels.
