The tires were belted with two layers of plastic cut from soda bottles. I used a pick heated with a torch to melt clean holes through the tire and plastic, then the screws went through the plastic and tires from the inside (obviously). Worked...
Im from Michigan so it might have just been a cold north thing buttt... Does anybody remember the ski kits that replaced the front wheels? If I remember right they also came with dual wheel adapters for the rear as well. When I was a teenager the...
