Bigfoot tyres and Cadkat hubs/Asymetric Hubs

Hi, I have heard one or two of you mention that you cannot get the above mentioned tyres and hubs in the US, is this right?

Does anyone know of a supplier in the US

The reason I am asking is the Dominator Buggy will be heading to its new owner in New York within the next couple of months, and I am debating whether to send it with the wheels etc and pay the extra shipping weight or get the wheels and hubs in the US if they are available....

Any help with this issue will be gratefully received

I know here in Canada its a real pain in the a** getting rubber alone.

BF and Cad Rims can be purchased through us in Canada

and also any PL or Libre Dealer in the USA has access to them too

as for tires / tubes not sure for the USA but we have BF Tires.

have your guy contact anyone of them below:

Tim @ HQ USA, Angus @ Costal Windsports, Dino @ Dakitez, Jellis @ KBSS, Eli, Ken @ F5 Kites
(sorry if i've forgotten anyone else)

You're selling the Dominator? Well I'm sure you got your money back - and then some. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Good luck on the rims and tires - can be a pain over here to get these things.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I will send him the wheels with the buggy, it'll probably work out cheaper.

@FB it will be the same only a tighter fit for me ( I am struggling to come up with a better concept), and a touch lighter, I and also selling the Wildkat and make a smaller version of the Dominator to run on barrows, but thats a few months done the line
