That should be fairly straighforward. You won't need contact cement or anything (it'd make it nearly impossible to finish the job). First, get the new tires. Now peel the old tires off the wheels after removing the blade. It's easier, perhaps, if the wheels are off the saw... but that's a lot more to disassemble and reassemble and the tires CAN be replaced with the wheels still where they belong.
Clean up the wheels where the old tires used to be. Use whatever tooling may be required to get them VERY clean.
Now you can stretch the new tires onto the wheels with your hands, rolling them on like a giant rubber band. If your wheels are grooved, work the new tire into the groove as best you can. Insert two screwdrivers under the new tire and work both screwdrivers all the way around the rim - that lifts the tire and gets it to seat a little better. It also tends to help even out the stretch of the tire. BE CAREFUL not to stretch the tire too much, or it'll never stay in place.
If the old tire is not badly damaged, I would glue it on with contact cement and carry on. Is the wheel close to the size of a bike tube? They come in all sizes, and stretch. A little scissors work and you have a new tire.
Paint the tire and the wheel with contact cement and let it set till you can touch it without sticking to it, slap on the tire, you should be all set, if the tire is shot, get some new ones. Hope this helps.
You have whats called a flat. TAKE THE TIRE OFF AND REPLACE THE TUBE INSIDE WITH NEW ONE. If this is a daunting task, take tire and rim to local bike shop and they will be happy to fix for you. Good Luck....
hi you can get a new wheel unit from quinny direct or eBay the folding is something else turn the buzz over and check the groove on the middle tube to see if it is clean try an oil like wd40 if that doesn't work it may need a re gas which can done by quinny
Did you put a new tire on there or is this the original? Put some contact cement on the tire and the rim, let it set up and slap that baby back on, it should stay put. They make a special cement for the tires, I always use contact , it works. Hope this helps.
I am suspecting that the tire has come loose on the wheel itself. Try and see if you can get the tire off and using a glue like contact cement; glue the tire on the rim so it won't spin when he is pedalling.Hope this helps.
I'd say you have the wrong size tires, or at least defective or poor quality ones. They should be pretty tricky to get onto the wheels, requiring some leverage as you work them on, but they should be a very tight fit which will prevent them from moving. Sounds like the tires are too lose to me.
Those tires do wear out expecially if you have a tendency to over tighten the band. At presenr, Woodworkers Emporium has replacement tires made of plastic and they are hard to replace but work great. In the meantime, you should apply contact cement to the wheel and the tire. This is usually a good fix but when you do replace the tire, the wheel must be cleaned of any cement etc.
