Pitstain Hobbies Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Pack 1 and I am already very impressed with the paintwork and those amazing wire spoke wheels. My apologies on the sporadic auto-focus problems, the chrome wire wheels were playing hell with my Sony camera. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo.Mora Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hi, For the mounting of the tire, after struggling with just hot water, I put in a mine a jar of water and microwaved it to boil. It went in very very easily... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jo, Just to be safe I can't endorse anyone microwaving their tires in water to over 200*F the chance to burn yourself is very real, that being said I am glad it worked for you but I will stick with very hot tap water from the sink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply put the tires in a pan with boiling water. I pull them out with tongs after 2 minutes or so, and they are soft as butter. Mind you, I am morethan a mile above sea level, so water boils at a temp less than 200 degrees. Best, Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
