Morning all ,
Just about at my ends wit with punctures on my block cart . As fellow users would know ,the hassle of taking the wheel apart ( eventually ) can be time costly .
Do you fellow users have the same trouble ? Was wondering if filling them with some kinda foam would help ?
Thanks

Try putting a tube of slime in them you should be able to get it from a bike shop it should self seal for small punctures its either that or solid wheels

any local farm machinery dealer will stock it, or get it from airseal products on line

We use Slime in motorbike tyres.
Nowt more inconvenient on a 'bike than a puncture as, very generally speaking, we tend not to carry a spare wheel with us, and, if you call out the RAC/AA/GreenFlag, they panic when they realise you're on two wheels and insist a piggy-back home is the only option, but it will be a 4 hr wait before a truck becomes available, and when it does, the eejit driver won't have a clue about how to secure a bike without scratching the paintwork/ bending the 'bars/ breaking off an indicator stem/ etc.
Had a talk at [url=http:///www.mantomcc.co.uk]our bike club[/url] last night from a bloke who did 11,500 miles overland to Vietnam on a restored single cylinder 1941 Matchless and relied on Slime to protect his tyres, as it's not always easy to find a replacement knobbly in Kyrgyzstan on a wet Wednesday afternoon.
