Dagon - 2-2-2009 at 11:06 AM

I need a set of 4 ply slicks for a libre buggy I cant remember the best place to buy.

Also I need some pulleys to modify a set of handles for a 6m kite. can anyone tell me where to buy those little pulleys you can put on the handles.?

Jellis is the man with the pulleys

I found a link for the pulleys from an old thread, still trying to find a good tire supplier

I'm pretty sure jellis has the tires, too. If not, shoot xxxBuggyPilotXXX a U2U, i have seen him with a link to the 4 ply carlisle tires... or you could just google it.

Carlisle tire smooth implement 4.8/4 x 8 for the regular size

Where do you start at the site? None of the links seem like the right one and all the ones I clicked on just had a list of other sites.

Link to the tires (size) Dylan referred to...not slicks but just go back one page and click on them.

having some trouble finding those tires, what size and model do I get for a Libre?

for size, you want 4.8 x 8 for standard size... you can go for a bigger tire with rounded shoulders and smooth tread for bigfoot lights, though I hear they are a pain to get on the rim.

You can only run the larger size on the rear tires, unless you have a bigfoot front fork.

That link is the wheelbarrow tread, i presume with grooves. The slick are somewhere else, I didnt look... perhaps if you email them.

The first number (the 4.8 of the 4.8 x 8) is the width of the tire, the second number (the 8 of the 4.8 by 8) is the size rim that they fit onto. So 4.8 x 8 is a 4.8 inch wide tire, on an 8 inch rim.

Hope that helps in your looking for tires.
