okbeast Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Need a tube for my spindle mounts, they leak. Tire is 18", rim is 10x4. Anyone know of anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I used scooter tubes when I had mine. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I used scooter tubes when I had mine. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 The only ones I can find are 18x10-8 or so. Not sure if they will be too wide or will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Surely I'm not the only one with POS smooth buffs that run tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 just came across these... not sure if they would work or not, but maybe... tubes will expand/stretch quite a bit. http://shop.viperizerracing.com/product.sc?productId=1524&categoryId=135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 interesting. and tubes are pretty heavy. kinda defeats the purpose of running a buffed tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Drag slicks are really leaky. We actually use two coats, letting them dry in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 ever use rubberized underbody coating?? dont know if it would work, just a thought that popped into my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nope, most drag racer's use soap or tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okbeast Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'll prolly pull 'em and stick 'em in a tub of water to make sure it's not the bead that's leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
