A<\/span><\/strong>nother man who keeps my Eagle on the road is located in Florida. His name is Walter Branche and he is a famous HiWheel cyclist with a long history rolling tall! In 1884 he rolled coast-to-coast on a HiWheel bike and as a collector, almost every kind of antique bicycle on the planet has passed through his hands.<\/p>\n

Well last summer via Facebook, he messaged me through the bike tiring method he has had success with for the last few decades.<\/p>\n

Since 2003 I\u2019ve been putting on my own tires using a well documented method that has been in place for many years. While it got the tires on to my rims tight, they only stayed that way for a few months before they started to loosen. And yet there again when you use a method that requires that you compact as much as ten extra inches of rubber on to the rim before you silver solder the inner tire wire, what can you expect?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Well, I am excited to say that here now eight months later, my tires are still pretty snug after having used Walter\u2019s method. And I knew they were going to be that way because I was only adding a little over an inch with his plan. As such, I documented it in the hope that other Wheelmen will start making use of what really is also a simpler way of getting our solid rubber tires on to the rims:<\/span><\/p>\n
