Stu what tire are you gonna use? Road or street. I just had a thought that it would be handy to have the same tire wheel as the bike. That way you would only have to have one size spare tube on hand.
Chuck, the MTB will have slicks on it, no use pushing an offroad tread down the asphalt
The trailer with have just a regular tread on it, street tires, the tubes etc will be different sizes as well as the tires and rims, can't be helped, the wheels I'm getting for free are from the Japanese shopping bikes, also called "Mama-Chari" meaning "Mama's Bicycle.........

Typical Mama-Chari, but this one does not have the usual kid carrier attached.
They have 26" wheels and the tires are 1 3/8", IIRC. My MTB has 26" wheels and 2.0" tires.
That's so close to taking the same tube. if memory serves a 1.5" tube will fit a 2" tire.

"Difficult bending can aided by the proper application of a forklift."
I love it and yes it is true for both bending and unbending that piece you just ran over.
Yep, what Dan said
A bicycle tire grips the road much differently than a car tire, and I'll not be riding in the rain any way, the customers don't like the product to get wet, I have a van for rain days!
I should really take a welding class. It'd be nice to be able to make smooth welds like yours. Mine usually end up looking like big blobs covering up holes where I burnt through the metal!

I'm assuming you are going to work up some sort of pad to fit on the end of the push clamp?
Looking great Stu
Flatwork, spinny stuff and now metal work. You take it all on
Welding is something I've always wanted to do but never tried. Been thinking about getting a MIG welder someday. I love watching folks weld.
