Get the Abu Dhabi solid gold ones, they won’t break but your bank balance might.

Pneumatic tyres are cheap, steer and grip well. Just need to navigate around danger.

You'd think that the barrows with the motor built into the wheel would be puncture proof wouldn't you? Perhaps that'll be the mkVII?

A litre will be more than enough. I think my bottle was 500ml but I didn't have a really large wheel.

This. I did the same with my power porter, after a blackthorn went through the front wheel.

Has been absolutely fine since.

Yep the green tyre slime from Halfords.

Applied to my porter lite in 2008 never a problem since then.
You can get it from Halfords for less than a tenner.

Yeah, I’ve seen those but not sure what size can I need? My wheel is the fatboy one if that makes any difference.

I bought a power conversion three years ago that came with a normal front tyre. It was fine for about a year and then the inevitable puncture. The conversion kit came with some tyre slime so I filled it up and it has been fine for two years now. You can buy it online - bright green tyre slime.

Just had my mk2 puncture proof barrow converted to powered recently and now I’m paranoid about getting a puncture. Is it possible to use tyre weld as a preventative measure against future punctures with an inner tube? If so, which one would you recommend and which size can?
Many thanks in advance.
