Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2015 7:01 pm Post subject: tires

Well I have finally had enough of flat tires due to the tire spinning against the tube. I am using 800x6 tires on my Firestar. It would be nice to be able to run them with low tire pressure to absorb some of the rough country that I sometime land in. The problem of course is the tire spins and severs the valve stem. Not sure if you have priced tubes lately but they are about $56. each. 



I was toying with the idea of going flying, but discovered that I had a flat- again. (last one was two years ago, but its still too darned soon.) I was lucky in that I had a spare tube. I had to first modify my floor jack so that I could even lift the plane. I replaced the round cup with a 1.5 X 1.5 X10 inch piece of square tubing. I should have already done that, so I couldn't complain too much. This way I can stick the end of the axle inside the tubing and securely jack up the plane.

When I took it apart it was as I had guessed, the valve stem was ripped off the tube. I think I have the Azusa rims, but the hole for the valve stem seems to be in the wrong place and one cannot access the valve stem while it is on the plane, since it requires that you use some sort of a tool to bend the 90 degree stem to a point that you can get to it with an air hose. The entire thing is guaranteed to make a Saint cranky.

The only "light" part of the tire change occurred as I was screwing the two halves of the rims together. I was concerned that I might pinch the tube against the halves. I got the tire mounted and using a box end wrench to twist the valve stem so that I could put some air in it. I was bracing it against my vise to apply enough pressure. I put some air in it and when I stopped I could hear it hissing. I moved the tire and it quit? I put some more air in it and again it started hissing. I stopped and stood the tire up, and it quit again. In confusion I turned it up and found that I also had a can of WD 40 on the other side that was a lot emptier than when I started. The bench won't rust anyway.

I called John Hauck to see what he knew about using screws to secure the tire to the rim. With a bit of internet search he found this site.

http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-Wheel-Rim-to-Tire-Screw-Kit/756883/10002/-1



I ordered them. Not sure if anyone else could benefit from my experience or not, but there isn't anything else going on. I intend to put 6 in each side of the rims, and run about 4 lbs of air. John checked to see if he could find similar type screws, and the best he could do was about $1.29 each for stainless steel screws, so the price from JEGS was not all that bad.





Have a great and safe New Year,

Larry

I've heard this but have no further information.... 

 Once you set the tires on the rims,  you can let the air out of the tires,  brush in some contact cement between the tire and rim, then put air back in the tire.  Let the glue dry and install...  To remove drip in some MEK to soften and clean up the glue.… 

Anyone heard about this or have any more information on how it works?

Larry, 

 

One would think that screws in a tire are something to be avoided, right? J

 

Anyway, you might want to try some tire bead sealer. I have never used it but have cleaned it off of rims where it had been applied and it seemed to stick to the rim quite tightly.

 

Although it is intended as a sealer and not a glue, it has some glue like qualities and may just add enough friction between the tire and rim to solve your problem without putting holes in the rims. 

 

Bead sealer should be available at your local automotive store or easily found online.

 

BTW, a 800 X 6 tube for a garden tractor is about $20.  Don’t know if they will work with your rims, but might be worth checking out.

 

Good Luck,

 

Stuart

Hi, Larry,

For what it's worth, I decided to switch to tubeless. I called Matco, who made my wheels, and ordered a "Tubeless kit." It consists of a large "O" ring that gets squeezed between the halves when you torque the bolts down, and of course, a new valve stem. Works great on my Kolb.

The o ring should not be squeezed between the halves...  Put the oring on 1 side, bolt the halves together,, then slide the o ring into the V between the halves...    It seals better if you put some silicone grease on the o ring

I grew up riding Dirt Bikes and to solve the problem of tires tearing off the valve stem they use Rim Locks. Most Dirt Bikes run about 12-16psi and 

a RIM lock device is the most economical way to keep the 55hp motors from shredding the inner tube. I doubt if you can find rim locks for our Kolb sized rims but these can be fabricated easily.



Another solution might be the use of " TIRE BALLS" and no inner tube at all.

They make specific sized balls for almost any sized tire. These are used often in long cross country off road races where the terrain is very rugged. I see guys use tennis balls and all kinds of crazy things that hold up to extreme abuse. A quick search on line and I think you will get many ideas.



Down side is these both add a few pounds to your aircraft.

 

Good Luck

I used the "green slime" sealer between the tire and rim and have had no problems yet. (Have about 100 landings on pavement).

Well I have been selling my tires and wheels that are tubeless for over 7 years,  I have never had any returns or complaints and Brian Melbourne has them on his Firestar he told me that since he put tires and wheels that I sell on his Kolb he can Land just about anywhere. Tires and wheels that will fit a black max, Tracy O'Brien, Hegar Brakes systems and more.

Somebody on the list sent me a PM wanting to know approximate cost and what would they have to do to install these on a Mark III. There's different options for example of whether or not you want hand control stick master cylinder, or do you want differential Heel and Toe Brakes.  Also single or dual puck calipers... Sometimes you can use master cylinders from other companies. 



Here is a picture of a set up that I sold last month and the customer already had his master cylinders..  Several months ago a Canadian gentleman put some dual puck brakes on a Kitfox and he says it will stop on a dime. He used his own master cylinders

OK? Now I'm wondering what the big secret is? I'm not real sure what your deal is, or why you cannot answer a straight forward question, but you should be aware that by being evasive, my "bullshit meter " is pretty well pegged. If you actually want to sell some tires, you are not handling it very well. I am fairly sure that you are not engaged in anything untoward, but you are making it sound that way.I personally see nothing wrong with trying to sell something that would benefit a Kolb airplane owner. There would most likely be some propwash from recurring ads, but tires was the thread being discussed.Sorry,

Larry

Larry there is no secret about anything, and if you happen to ask Bryan he knows that I have been selling these for years. Most of my dealings have been with Travis, but I am sure you know that Travis is no longer there at the Factory.. Their are options depending on aircraft and different needs..Different Master cylinders, single and dual puck Calipers... I guess I should have a price list, I guess I am lazy about some things...but then I do not sell Tires and Wheels for a living..  I fell into this getting what I wanted for myself, and people started asking me where they could get some for their aircrafts... No Website, and No Advertizing to speak of, and I sell 1 to 4 set-ups per month... Not to bad for little effort... Most of my sales by word of mouth, and Happy Customers..... We do live in America still, you run your business as you see fit and I will do the same... I wanted something and spent two years trying to find it, and never did so I had Wheels Custom Made for me, and sorta fell into a nitch that was needed.  So Larry, why don't you keep making your Videos of flying over the Midwest the way you want to, and I will keep doing as I see fit

I will do that, however you might sell a couple more if people didn't have to pry a commitment out of you.

 Larry there is no secret about anything, and if you happen to ask Bryan he knows that I have been selling these for years. Most of my dealings have been with Travis, but I am sure you know that Travis is no longer there at the Factory.. Their are options depending on aircraft and different needs..Different Master cylinders, single and dual puck Calipers... I guess I should have a price list, I guess I am lazy about some things...but then I do not sell Tires and Wheels for a living..  I fell into this getting what I wanted for myself, and people started asking me where they could get some for their aircrafts... No Website, and No Advertizing to speak of, and I sell 1 to 4 set-ups per month... Not to bad for little effort... Most of my sales by word of mouth, and Happy Customers..... We do live in America still, you run your business as you see fit and I will do the same... I wanted something and spent two years trying to find it, and never did so I had Wheels Custom Made for !

  me, and sorta fell into a nitch that was needed.  So Larry, why don't you keep making your Videos of flying over the Midwest the way you want to, and I will keep doing as I see fit

This discussion of the price of tires in China or the     Carolina's...reminds me....I have a couple of Azusa tires,tubes and     rims for sale..new..  60% of the ACF price....plus shipping... 1.     11-4.00x5 tire and tube on a Nylon rim.. also have an extra nylon     rim of the same size with bearings...and one half rim...all new...id     of bearing is 5/8 ths inch..  bearings are 8206's... Chinese...I     notice that Azusa wants an extra 20 dollars for Timken     bearings...kinds a rip since skf,Fafnir and other bearings of     quality can usually be had on EBAY for a few dollars each... the     other tire /rim/tube assy...is a 15-6.00x6 Carlisle ...on Azusa     rim...5/8th thru hole in bearing.. 

     

     by the way...the reason for not giving a price is to get people to     call or visit ....that way the seller has the opportunity to use his     superior sales skills to convince a customer as to the quality of     his particular products...and a smart sales person can take a quick     read of the buyer...smart, dumb etc...!! 

     

       when I dropped out of College...I went to work selling shoes at     J.C. Pennys....and one of the first lessons is that it is never good     to confuse a customer..they usually walk...out the door on the same     pair of shoes that they came in with...  Herb

         I will do that, however you             might sell a couple more if people didn't have to pry a             commitment out of you.

Our bitter weather has moved Eastward, so I got the tires fixed today. I put some washers under these screws just as a precaution in case the screw might be a bit long. I have 6 lbs of air in them. I anticipate that they will be a bit better when landing in our outback, as well as not ripping off the valve stems.Larry
