There are a few different ways to keep bike tires from going flat. Especially with the tires on our off road wheelchair, we want as much protection as possible. A flat in the middle of nowhere would be a difficult situation to fix. So preventative maintenance is the best kind of maintenance. THESE are the Tuffy liners we used: amzn.to/2T5YTiT
And THIS is the Slime we added to the tire. amzn.to/2T5YYDd (You don't fill up the entire tube, just enough squirts to coat the inside of the tube.)

Nice my grandpa and i did something similar to my bike when i was like 10/11 years old but we took 2 old tyers cut of the sides a bit not the whole side and put them inside the new tyers then reasembled everything worked great, he said that it was an old trick from his youth and had been used on old militarybikes to prevent flats. My grandpa was a great man RIP Grandpa i miss you.

@themacattackjack 4 года назад

Great tutorial! Another layer of protection I use on top of all this is to cut the old tube and wrap it around the new tube. Then if a hard deep thorn does get through, and they still can, the new tube leaks slime and bonds to the old tube to seal the hole very well.

@isaac.vanzyverden 5 лет назад

What you can also do is go completely tubeless. You don’t even need the tube in the tire, all you need is tubeless ready rims (it needs to have specific rim tape on it), tubeless tires, and slime or sealant. You can run even lower tire pressures, for more grip, and if you get a thorn in the tire, the sealant will seal the puncture and you can keep riding👌 I personally ride this setup on my own mountain bike and it changes the whole feel of the bike, very rad🤘

@jimlips 3 года назад

Nice job! I just watched two other guys do the same thing on RU-vid, incorrectly. Pretty much the same thing you did, but after they put in the Slime, they spun the tire really fast. You need to spin it SLOWLY so it can line/attach to the whole inner surface. The one guy poked a nail in the tire and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, lol. Thanks for your video!

@aliasxftwihard4evr 5 лет назад

@DoomMeister_ 5 лет назад

Heyo! Another option you could look at with the tires, is a completely tubeless setup with a better tire, and then a cush core foam insert around the rim if there is one for it. The idea is similar to the slime, but you don't have the weight of the inner tube. Less rotational weight mean more runtime, and the tubeless lets you run lower pressures to get more traction. Additionally, the cush core will save the rim from some extent of damage in the case of having to roll on a flat. I will point out, if those are the stock tires, the casing material is probably not that good, so investing in a better tire with a more durable casing material could be a major long term investment.

@domreyes3735 5 лет назад

I ride through the Nevada desert. Gravel, cactus, thorns and glass. I have a sun seeker fat tad with the 4" x 20" tires that I did the same thing with. Tire liner and Stans liquid tire sealant inside the tube. Before this combination of protection I would get flats every 3rd. time out. I've been out 18 times now with problems. So far so good.

@NazihBitar 5 лет назад

You should convert the wheel to tubeless. In doing so you greatly increase puncture resistance and lower the weight. Lowering of the weight would make it go for longer distances.

@itsdave92 5 лет назад

Tubeless is a good idea, however if you DO get a puncture on a tubeless setup, the maintenance is time-consuming and messy. Much worse than just changing inner tubes. You give and take, and I think this idea is a good give.

@OldDirtGuy 5 лет назад

There are a number of videos on how to go tubeless here on RU-vid. You might find that they are even more reliable than your setup. Just as long as you remember to add sealant every six months or so. Even if the tire goes flat. It might seal itself if you pump it back up. You can still use a tube if all else fails. My bamboo fat bike has three years and a ton of miles on a set of tubeless fat bike tires.

@DennisHicks78749 4 года назад

Dang. True that those things may prevent flats. But the added rolling weight requires a LOT more energy to push. It may be a good choice for some folks to use tire liners and/ or sealant (btw, there are more effective brands), others may find the extra effort and slower ride is not worth it. Just something to be aware of for those who are thinking about puncture resistance. Oh, I have also heard some tires are made with a kevlar belt for that, but I have no experience and don’t know how well they work. Thanks for the great video!

@DennisHicks78749 4 года назад

Oh, for those who are considering injecting a sealant, I recommend this excellent review by Project Farm. That guy does some awesome reviews! He concluded Slime works, but there is another product some may prefer in some situations. It is also a good informational video about how sealants work. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H5DWhIF1c0M.html

Then I made two more ebikes from dual full suspension mountain bikes with Bafang 750 watts motors (Shimano/Gravity model 2014) with normal tires and put rubber tube in tires (no air). Problem solved. Had them for 5 years, never had a flat obviously.

@jimperry4420 5 лет назад

As a lifelong tire man, slime don’t work. Also, use an old tube, split down the middle all the way around and place the new tube inside it. Valve stem removed of course. I use it in heavy duty off road applications. It fits perfectly and gives heavy thickness.

@Alpha_Donk 5 лет назад

In stead of liner you can use your punctured inner tube by cutting it open and wrapping your new tube inside it. It more eco friendly and you don't have to buy liner...

Damn the comments section sounds like when a boy and girl are friends for a week. Everyone just assumes it's a relationship. Now I don't know if you two are a thing but if you are that's okay and if you aren't that's okay. It's your life, you should live it your way. I get having so much of your life this public is difficult because you have thousands of people watching your every move making observations and assuming things. I know it's your own opinion what you do but I think you should address the fact that you two have a private life too and people should let you be whatever you want to be and that whatever you two are is private and is part of your own life/ Should also say that if anything does happen between you two you'll be sure to tell your viewers at 'some point'.

Hello. I have seen your videos on the Off-Road Wheelchair (ORW). I know you made that some time ago. I have to say that I like the ORW. I just recently became wheelchair bound myself due to a leg amputation. As much as I would love to get something like that for myself, I know I will not be able to afford one. I am on SSDI Income. This puts me on a very low income and makes it impossible to afford something like this. I am also much heavier than you are so that is another thing against me. However great job and keep up the good work. BTW Two ideas I would suggest is to make it where the 'normal wheelchair could be stored for use when in places that do not allow 'bikes' to be used and a wagon/cart for hauling things like groceries and other items

@cormacstapleton9295 5 лет назад

Or..... just set it up tubeless. It works the same way as on a car tire with tubeless specific tires and I don't know if your rims are tubeless ready or not. You put the tire on as normal but without the tube (it might be a bit tight) and you can put sealant in it to plug holes as you ride. It is more efficient because there is less friction and you can't get pinch punctures (where the tube gets pinched between tire and rim on a hard impact) which means you can use lower tire pressures to absorb bumps better and get more grip. May not be necessary in this case but it's what all proper mountain bikers use.

Zach As a mountain biker punctures are annoying so many people go tubeless which takes out the tube and puts sealant in the rim and effectively stops flats

@Rotorhead1651 Год назад

The problem with *Slime, is that it doesn't work indefinitely. Eventually, the tube will need to be patched, and that's where you run into problem #2. *Slime is incompatible with patch cement and will cause any patch to leak and inevitably push off. At that point, your options are to either try to "wash" all of the *Slime out of the inner tube, or replace it (the tube) entirely.

I been doing just the slime and works great but once you put slime in a tube and its been in there a while or you store the bike for a while that slime will kind of expire and that tube is junk and will need to be replaced. the liner does not always work Ive had thorns go through the liner.. but having both is your best defense.

@heyoou 2 года назад

Can I make suggestion if SLIME doesn't work for you. I bought SLIME last week and followed instructions to the letter. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me on my rear wheel on my Ebike. Not because it's a bad product but because their are Grey areas when fixing flats on your bike. I had no choice but to remove the wheel and fix the flat the old traditional method of glue and patch. Why SLIME didn't work was because the puncture was on the side of tubing 1" above the stem. Even if you spin your wheel after applying SLIME, it may not coat the sides of the tubing. So what I did was I made a hole on the side of the tubing of an old wheel with tubing and tire and proceeded with Slime instructions. Again Slime did not seal the hole after spinning the wheel for a very good reason. You need to spin the wheel flat on the side on its axel on both sides or you can just hold the wheel horizontally while you're standing and turn it so the Slime can coat the side. Try one side 1st and then fill with air. If there is still a leak, turn upside down and do the same on the other side. Remember the trick is to get Slime to coat all of the inner tubing so as to fill any holes from the sides as well as the top and bottom. It worked for me after I realized those Grey areas.
