Title: PINHEAD69's mods - tie up tyre socks
Post by: PINHEAD69 on October 15, 2007, 04:34:26 AM
next are my tie up tyre socks....
these are the babies that triggered jason into
making his hoofies after capital bocking... as i didnt like
the look of tape wrapped around the hoof stem... ..sooo untidy...
the beauty of these are...they can be taken off and put on quickly
should you go from grass to concrete... the holes i used
eyelets...but its not a necessity.....a strong nylon type lace is
required......the first picture shows the pattern and shape...

I must say I hate using tyre socks becuase they look so "naff" but I'm going to try making these. Is there a pattern that I can follow? Thanks

grs.... cut the sock larger first in length..
wrap it around tight to get the length you want
once you have the size sorted.. you can mark out the flaps
with a marker pen...
use the shape i have used..as when they are folded around they
will not twist... hence the dovetail shape of them on some....
you can eyelet them or just punch a hole if you wish...
ps...the 2 coloured tyres were only £4 from wilkinsons and will make
quite a few socks.... hope this helps

Pinhead69 is a total perfectionist - He likes things, not only to work but look right too  ;)

These sock uses the laces so it looks much neater, the traditional tyre sock uses either jubilee clips or tape to hold it in place but they don't look as cool as these  ;)

stewart...
i used a strong nylon type cord...
i found laces fray after a while....depends if you put
eyelets in or not.... with or without both work fine....
but your cord must be strong, as believe it or not...the sock takes massive stress when jumping....
ps did you say the T word
TAPE...TAPE...TAPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lol
