- There are a few different ways to keep bike tires from going flat. Especially with the tires on our off road wheelchair, we want as much protection as possible. A flat in the middle of nowhere would be a difficult situation to fix. So preventative maintenance is the best kind of maintenance. THESE are the Tuffy liners we used: amzn.to/2T5YTiT
And THIS is the Slime we added to the tire. amzn.to/2T5YYDd (You don't fill up the entire tube, just enough squirts to coat the inside of the tube.)

"We cant name it after you"
Cambry's face "why the hell not"
No you can't we gonna name it agent 47😂
My thought exactly!! Why not.
It is the CAMBRY!
@@SHGant I like the name to it's like a Camry but not LOL
Let nothing stop you from completing your mission agent 47.
LMFAO love it!
But he should go tubeless!!!!!
Our agent is compromised, requesting immediate extraction
@damnit hahaha i see what you did there
I think naming it after her is a great idea. She was the inspiration for the design, correct? Name it after her. She’s also the perfect spokesperson for it.
Would you want your bike to be called a "coy"?
J Arnett the bike was inspired by her and said she wants to name it after her.
@@josharntt.......Coy sounds good to me.
Actually, I think "The Cambry" is a brilliant name for it!
Zach, my man. IT IS THE CAMBRY!!! 😍💯✌️❤️🙏
Andrew Rea is that you?
Nice my grandpa and i did something similar to my bike when i was like 10/11 years old but we took 2 old tyers cut of the sides a bit not the whole side and put them inside the new tyers then reasembled everything worked great, he said that it was an old trick from his youth and had been used on old militarybikes to prevent flats. My grandpa was a great man RIP Grandpa i miss you.
Love watching all these bike videos. Such a cool invention. I tell so many people about this thing.
Well you can call it what ever want ...but it will always be the Cambry bike to a lot of your viewers (both channels)..this the most heart warming thing I've ever seen on YT!!!!!
“I’ll see you around.”
Love hearing that 🤙
I told you to make it tubeless boi
Boneless
@@ch.illmatic hmmmm🤔
Tubeless and put an extra foam tube inside like a pool noodle to work as a run flat tire.
Mtb gang
Well done 47, you have completed your mission.
😂😂😂
Great tutorial! Another layer of protection I use on top of all this is to cut the old tube and wrap it around the new tube. Then if a hard deep thorn does get through, and they still can, the new tube leaks slime and bonds to the old tube to seal the hole very well.
If you run a tubeless setup the sealant would plug the holes and you would be able to run a lower tire pressure and get more grip on things like steep gravel trails🤙🏻
Nice progress in keeping that smile happy! Well done
Love your contents zack ❤️ quite inspiring. Keep up the good work bro 👍🏻
Zack you should start doing daily vlogs mate !! always love your content! 👍
IKR? My man here would nail the daily vlogs. What sort of vlog would you like to see tho?
Thank you!
I totaly agree to this. Would love more videos from Zack! Love hes videos and hes Voice. Keep up the good work Zack! :)
@@ZacksJerryRig start at least weekly vlog though
@@ZacksJerryRig don't do them daily
Nice work. This is why I like you. Name it the cam-bike
That's great you have built a four wheel electric wheel chair bike .best wishes and prayers for you guys .keep up your faith you are a inspiration to many.good job guys
Nice job! I just watched two other guys do the same thing on TH-cam, incorrectly. Pretty much the same thing you did, but after they put in the Slime, they spun the tire really fast. You need to spin it SLOWLY so it can line/attach to the whole inner surface. The one guy poked a nail in the tire and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working, lol. Thanks for your video!
The cambry.. is such a perfect name!
great vid, great vibes!
This is such a cool project!
What you can also do is go completely tubeless. You don’t even need the tube in the tire, all you need is tubeless ready rims (it needs to have specific rim tape on it), tubeless tires, and slime or sealant. You can run even lower tire pressures, for more grip, and if you get a thorn in the tire, the sealant will seal the puncture and you can keep riding👌 I personally ride this setup on my own mountain bike and it changes the whole feel of the bike, very rad🤘
Of course you can name it after Cambry. You have to. Then market the thing already!! You’ve got the perfect story.
I ride through the Nevada desert. Gravel, cactus, thorns and glass. I have a sun seeker fat tad with the 4" x 20" tires that I did the same thing with. Tire liner and Stans liquid tire sealant inside the tube. Before this combination of protection I would get flats every 3rd. time out. I've been out 18 times now with problems. So far so good.
Great Video, keep up the Great Work!!!
You should totally call it The Cambry! Seriously Jerry, I mean Zack 😉
Love you Zack!
Awesome video
best intro haha!
Thanks i needed this video
Lol I like these raw and uncut videos
0:28 I loved the snapping part of Cambry of this video
So have you modified the brakes and brake levers? Seatbelt? Making getting in and out easier? Cushioning for seat and seat back? Emergency energy supply...solar recharging? enough auxiliary suggestions? Ya'll are doing great work. Nice invention!. Great test pilot, even helps with mods!...
Lol I couldn’t get over how you were all matching 😂
I don't have a bike ( for now ) but thanks for this video jerry !
There are a number of videos on how to go tubeless here on TH-cam. You might find that they are even more reliable than your setup. Just as long as you remember to add sealant every six months or so. Even if the tire goes flat. It might seal itself if you pump it back up. You can still use a tube if all else fails. My bamboo fat bike has three years and a ton of miles on a set of tubeless fat bike tires.
Luv ur videos man
glad you used slime, i had messaged with the suggestion, don’t know if you saw that. We have it in the UK, guess you have it in the US too. Use one of your plastic pry tools to slide between the tyre wall and rim and level it in and rotate with the tool in place. Easy
Brett Gough tire levers
Slime is a common practice all around the world even here in Australia. Especially so in Australia because of the amount of thorns everywhere
I'm shipping those two!
Heyo! Another option you could look at with the tires, is a completely tubeless setup with a better tire, and then a cush core foam insert around the rim if there is one for it. The idea is similar to the slime, but you don't have the weight of the inner tube. Less rotational weight mean more runtime, and the tubeless lets you run lower pressures to get more traction. Additionally, the cush core will save the rim from some extent of damage in the case of having to roll on a flat. I will point out, if those are the stock tires, the casing material is probably not that good, so investing in a better tire with a more durable casing material could be a major long term investment.
i haven't seen a cush core for a fat bike
You should convert the wheel to tubeless. In doing so you greatly increase puncture resistance and lower the weight. Lowering of the weight would make it go for longer distances.
Schwalbe tire have great puncture protection moulded into their tire products, i have a set of them with 3 layers of Kevlar on my own e-bike. Haven't had a puncture since i had them installed.
Slime saves lives 👌🏼 Tire's lives
The Cambry FTW
The Cambry is a good name actually.
Can I have the desk brake stuff from the front of the bikes for my mountain bike it’s got the mounts just don’t have the desk and caliper lol.. and love what you did so she could get the feeling of riding a bike.. that’s amazing
Tubeless is a good idea, however if you DO get a puncture on a tubeless setup, the maintenance is time-consuming and messy. Much worse than just changing inner tubes. You give and take, and I think this idea is a good give.
Lovely bro God bless you
Tire lever can be helpful. Pedro's are the best in my opinion.
Thanks you for the tips. I just order 😊🤗
In the netherlands we have special tires for this.
Works better then those tuffy things
Off-road?
pm him about it maybe will be upgrade in the future :D
You ABSOLUTELY can name it the "Cambry!!!" ...and you SHOULD!!!
A collab with Seth's Bike Hacks will take this contraption to the next level :P
@bermpeak. Right up your ally.
oops! just saw where you added the calipers! Well done1
Dang. True that those things may prevent flats. But the added rolling weight requires a LOT more energy to push. It may be a good choice for some folks to use tire liners and/ or sealant (btw, there are more effective brands), others may find the extra effort and slower ride is not worth it.
Just something to be aware of for those who are thinking about puncture resistance. Oh, I have also heard some tires are made with a kevlar belt for that, but I have no experience and don’t know how well they work.
Thanks for the great video!
Oh, for those who are considering injecting a sealant, I recommend this excellent review by Project Farm. That guy does some awesome reviews! He concluded Slime works, but there is another product some may prefer in some situations. It is also a good informational video about how sealants work. m.th-cam.com/video/H5DWhIF1c0M/w-d-xo.html
I used the same method but I used a heavy duty 21 inch front dirt bike tube. They are easier to find than fat bike tubes and are much tougher.
Kambriquad!
Hello. I have seen your videos on the Off-Road Wheelchair (ORW). I know you made that some time ago. I have to say that I like the ORW. I just recently became wheelchair bound myself due to a leg amputation. As much as I would love to get something like that for myself, I know I will not be able to afford one. I am on SSDI Income. This puts me on a very low income and makes it impossible to afford something like this. I am also much heavier than you are so that is another thing against me. However great job and keep up the good work. BTW Two ideas I would suggest is to make it where the 'normal wheelchair could be stored for use when in places that do not allow 'bikes' to be used and a wagon/cart for hauling things like groceries and other items
Man pls more videos with cambry plsssss.
I would personally recommend going tubeless I ride through thorns and sharp rocks all day and I’m fine
You need to go tubeless, been running Stan's sealant for over 6 years and it works great. You can also go for the muck off sealant and that'll be even more robust
Being a wheelchair user myself this is amazing, only thing would be it looks impossible to self transfer into it from a wheelchair, iv seen the part of your first vids you lifting her into it.
nice bro
Zach As a mountain biker punctures are annoying so many people go tubeless which takes out the tube and puts sealant in the rim and effectively stops flats
Nice folks
Zack can you do a light bar installation on your roof rack? I have a 2nd gen Tacoma and have the same roof rack but do not know how to install a light bar on the rack itself. Thank you!
Got to name it the Grambry for sure . From Steve stott in sutherlin Oregon u.s.a.
I like the way how Cambry let the men do all the work (lol)
Hi there
How about calling the bike QUADZILLA .and fit a headrest and maybe make a Gel Seat this would make it more comfortable for cambry . Great job ur doing buddy .😎😃😊
Have you given Tunnus liners a look? Just got them for my Himiway Step-Thru so We'll see if they cut down on on my occasional flats. All of my flat tires in the past were from road debris. Never from the trail, rocks, roots, etc...
hmmm, you make it look so easy. Cant do that with Kendra K rad or Krusade tires.. They dont easily pop off the rims.
jerry you are awesome
YOU SHOULD MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!! WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS!
ITLL BE INVESTMENT
and now they are engaged so happy for them ! a life time together he could make her a mec suit or something now lol
Hi there , I'm currently debating whether to buy fat wheels or just a standard MTB wheel for my wheelchair hand bike , could you tell me when you punctured the fat wheels did the tyres stay on the rim to limp home or did the tyre pop off needing immediate repair ?
With power wheelchairs we use a special type of solid tire that don't require air but the tires are a bit harder then normal.
Got a name for it.....CripQuad!
Dam I like it I want one now
OK AUSTRALIA SAY'S
'' BELLA'' IS THE NAME THX love you guys
Or..... just set it up tubeless. It works the same way as on a car tire with tubeless specific tires and I don't know if your rims are tubeless ready or not. You put the tire on as normal but without the tube (it might be a bit tight) and you can put sealant in it to plug holes as you ride. It is more efficient because there is less friction and you can't get pinch punctures (where the tube gets pinched between tire and rim on a hard impact) which means you can use lower tire pressures to absorb bumps better and get more grip. May not be necessary in this case but it's what all proper mountain bikers use.
Can you use tuffy liner with tubeless tire for added protection?
Is there any cheaper way to protect tire from punctures, I have 20x4,0 tire and I have problems with thorns and similar things. I'm usually drive on asphalt, but sometimes I drive on rough terrain.
Altering the tire protection will change the rolling resistance, more noticeable on electric assist bikes with battery range becoming less.
Where can I buy a cambry? My friend is handicap and needs one.
!DA
toyota camry is the perfect name !
I did something a bit more different & rugged. I used Yoga mat for mine and had it doubled, then slime into the tube
As a lifelong tire man, slime don’t work. Also, use an old tube, split down the middle all the way around and place the new tube inside it. Valve stem removed of course. I use it in heavy duty off road applications. It fits perfectly and gives heavy thickness.
You could also just go tubeless, which is most likely cheaper, it makes the wheels lighter (yes it actually makes a good difference) and if you get a puncture, the tubeless sealant will most likely seal it up, and you also can't get pinch flats from going over curbs or something which would be perfect for this bike, and you can also run lower pressure in the tires for more grip.
I love my Sondors but what a pain in the ass it is when they get flats especially on the rear. I’m totally getting the Tuffy liners.
ever thought about going tubeless? for mountainbike tyres its a great possibility to get rid of any pinch flats and small sharp objectes getting through to your inner tube
Try drilling holes in the side of the tires. Fill the tire with window sealant foam. Be sure to put a little water in the tire, before, the foam. It activates the foam.
How about "Earth Explorer" for a name. "the EE Ride." This was a really great Idea. Thanks for posting.
You can also run it tubeless with sealant
In stead of liner you can use your punctured inner tube by cutting it open and wrapping your new tube inside it. It more eco friendly and you don't have to buy liner...
I been doing just the slime and works great but once you put slime in a tube and its been in there a while or you store the bike for a while that slime will kind of expire and that tube is junk and will need to be replaced. the liner does not always work Ive had thorns go through the liner.. but having both is your best defense.
Hey dude where can I purchase the miners for a 20 x 4 and tires as well I have slick tires I want some off road tires could you help me out ?
as for the liner i used to run a protective liner from a brand called "Mr Tuffy"... i have no clue if they are still in business
What pressure do you run with those fat tires? Thank you
*TUBELESS IS THE WAY ZACK*
