Brief Description:  Main Wheel

While working on the weights and balance I noticed there was significant cracking in the 30+ year old tire. Since the rubber is glued to the rim I could not just replace the tire. Instead I decided to visit Harbor Freight and see what they had to offer. I ended up choosing the flat free tire that does not require inflating. I'm not married to the new tire, but we'll see how it performs. The v-brake benefits from having a tire that does not change size. I had to make two new shims for the 5/8" axel, about a 1 hour job to get them just the right size. Another interesting note is that I took a pull scale and measured roughly 55 pounds of force to break the static friction and get it rolling.
