Anyway, don't know whether this stuff is still available, or whether it is possible to get it in the kind of width tat would be needed for a wheelbarrow tyre, but it may be worth looking for. A relative used to have a bike shop and sold stuff called 'slime'. 'Orrible innit? Filled the inner tube with goo so it couldn't puncture. Also sold solid bike tyres (as seen on Tomorrows World), the inner core was like a soft honeycomb. He said they were lousy on a bike as they were so heavy. DaveK. The car-tire places will mend a puncture on a wheelbarrow, no problem. Keep the bits well greased, though, as it may be some years before you need to get the wheel off, and it's embarrassing to find the bearings are rusted in ("Guilty, m'lud!"). I don't know about makes, but if it's to be a special present, splash out on a heavily galvanised one from the builders' merchant. The much cheaper plain black-painted ones are OK if they live in a shed and are kept clean; but they're unlikely to become family heirlooms. -- Mike. |
