Tyre Balls are back<br />
Tyre balls were first introduced way back in the early 2000’s,<br />
prior to the invention of mousse’s and even the pneumatic<br />
tyre… ok not really – but back then it was already a popular<br />
anti-flat system. We have tested them on quads, and we are<br />
in the process of rigging up a system for one of our dirtbikes.<br />
What are Tire Balls? Tire Balls are individual, inflated air cells,<br />
made of a urethane that are more puncture resistant than a<br />
heavy duty tube, creating a type of run‐flat technology. Each<br />
Tire Ball has a valve similar to a basketball and is inflated by a<br />
standard needle. Basically you inflate each ball to the desired<br />
pressure and you fill the tyre with them, and then pop the tyre<br />
on to your rim… they tell us that up to 25 percent of the balls<br />
can fail before you’ll feel any difference. The beauty of the<br />
balls is that they last forever so when you change tyres you<br />
simply re-fit them and replace any punctured balls.<br />

The Tiron portable<br />
“tyre putter onner…”<br />
Ok Fitment device.<br />
Now heres a cool invention. No more<br />
pinching tubes or marking the rims – and<br />
you don’t need to use tyre irons to install a<br />
new tyre and tube.<br />
What a nifty gadget.<br />
1. If you need to remove your tyre – that’s<br />
through the conventional method, levers<br />
and elbow grease – but to re-install, this<br />
thing is great.<br />
• Push the tyre onto the rim to get started,<br />
place the tube into the tyre.<br />
• Place the Tyron into the centre bearing<br />
and literally crank the lever and rotate the<br />
wheel, the tyre pops on without fuss or<br />
the need for tyre irons.<br />
Guys – this is a fascinating invention and<br />
it works really well, one man – or lady<br />
operation. check it out for yourself. Pop<br />
it onto the bakkie when you are heading<br />
out, it makes life too much easier.<br />
