    Balloon Tires

    Anyone have any experience with the big polyurethane balloon tires on the pier? Will they stand up to the roughness of the wood planks?

    Re: Balloon Tires

    I took my balloon-tired beach cart on the pier four or five times before I got a regular pier cart and I don't think the tires would be hurt as long as the cart wasn't loaded down with too much weight---or encountered a stray treble hook. The tires are bulky, though.

    My cart only has a key chain style ring to hold the wheels on ,you can take them off and back on in less than 5 minutes.

    Thanks, John. I'll be looping through OB Tuesday on my way back to Enterprise. Will stop by and get set up. You have the cart also? Right now I'm using my home made job that weighs about 80 lbs and is a pain to load and unload.

    5 minutes to swap out and that was 1st time. Prolly get it down to <3 minutes after a few tries. Conversion couldn't be much easier.

    how much
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
