Tube for spindle mounts

[okbeast]

Need a tube for my spindle mounts, they leak.  Tire is 18", rim is 10x4.  Anyone know of anything?

I used scooter tubes when I had mine.

The only ones I can find are 18x10-8 or so.  Not sure if they will be too wide or will work.

Surely I'm not the only one with POS smooth buffs that run tubes?

just came across these... not sure if they would work or not, but maybe...  tubes will expand/stretch quite a bit.

We use a trick on our drag slicks when not using tubes, Good old fashioned liquid dish soap smeared on the inside of tire. Then let it dry. Works for the leaky drag slicks, should work for the smooth buffs & save a little weight.

interesting.  and tubes are pretty heavy.  kinda defeats the purpose of running a buffed tire.

Drag slicks are really leaky. We actually use two coats, letting them dry in between.

ever use rubberized underbody coating?? dont know if it would work, just a thought that popped into my head.

Nope, most drag racer's use soap or tubes.

Interesting...have to try the soap I guess.

 

Thanks for the link Tanner, I'll try to get ahold of them.

fix a flat works good

I'll prolly pull 'em and stick 'em in a tub of water to make sure it's not the bead that's leaking.
