hey guys some of you have seen the pictures Ive put up in the gallery of my new spring covers i got the mod idea from BockModz and it looks and works awesome!! if you need info on how to get them go on the BockModz website i cant remember the address sorry

But a tip when get to the metal around the inner part of the tyre u cannot brake it with a hacksaw u have to use either a very sharp pair of pliers or a very strong and sharp chisel on a hard surface to get the wire out i found the best and easyest way is to get a sharp knife and cut down were the metal is through the rubber then just pull on the wire with a pair of pliers

it probably says all this on the BockModz website but everyone goes on the projump forum so its easyer to see

Cheers for reading all tht btw

I used cable ties to keep it on and put hole through it using a VERY hot nail

This is how it looks from the back and this is a sued tyre off an old bike a new one would look awesome!

And this is a picture of the tyre i used on my mums spotty ironing board

cheers mate and they work awsome also because its rubber it strethes so there no worries about it braking

also if u all over and ur spring hits the floor its fine but i wouldnt recomend trying it out

Rubber is great at absorbing impact, lol

yeah mine are kicking ass, a few knocks when i was out on em but not one split in the tyre.
and it just looks so cool.

its such a great idea. proberly the coolest of ist type yet and You could spray pant the tire before you put it on probs

The ultimate would be to use Sweetskinz tires.
They come in a variety of patterns/colors and they are even reflective.
Your local bike shop should be able to get them.

yeah they are pretty cool, i wonder how ive never come across them before?
they have night views on their site also, i think i might be after a pair of rattlebacks if i can someone in the uk that sells em

anyway one for the girlie girls is the halo twin rail in pink..

buy those here.....http://tinyurl.com/ysebs9
oh they also come in green, i have those on one of my bikes look..

lookin for that image i found these which would be pretty cool
buy here http://tinyurl.com/yw4wvn

but having done the mod myself and obliterating one tyre (youll only need one by the way) i am convinced that the easiest/quickest route is foldable tyres

as there is no wire to cut out, you can concentrate on doing a stellar job

Insane!!! I so want to do that to my springs. The tires aren't too expensive either. I so want the scorch ones!!!!

Sx Nutta · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:11:04 PM »

I like mine the way that they are atm, but will deal with them in the summer!!

Spud · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:57:23 PM »

I want these tires on my bocks and bike. so cool

I was in Poundland today and noticed car mats £1 for the pair.
There not very thick but could be cut in to a strip to fit the spring.
Would take two bits per spring and could be stuck on with tape.
For a £1 it could be an idea for covers.

It's a lot cheaper than a tire, which could be used on the hoof

Double sided tape would hold it on spring but a single layer of tape over would be better.

Car mats can work, but you have to be picky about the type you get.
I've found that most don't work with the tie-up method (not enough tensile strength), and I'd rather not use tape if possible.
But, for extra protection under a layer of tape, they should absorb impact quite well.
