I foamed my wagon tires. I got much better results by pulling the inner tube and drilling holes at the 12,3,6 and 9 o’clock positions. Keep putting enough in that it comes out the other holes.
Definitely this is a skill lol. Most importantly wear gloves. This stuff is almost like super glue on the hands. Yea im thinking just a little at time in each whole slowly beause it expands significantly! It also leaks out of the hole. Try adding one hole at a time in succession as well. Maybe 3 or 4 maximum holes. Yup makes sure the inside of the tire is open and no air inside im thinking too.
Great tip
You need to drill very small holes around the tire to release the air so it fills evenly
I know this video is pretty old but I figured this may help someone who is currently looking into doing the same thing! I foamed my wagon tires and I made four holes on the same side of the tire! But the most important part is you need to take the tube out! You don't want the tube in there! You're going to also want to spray just a little bit of water in each hole, this will help the end result have fewer air bubbles in it as well! You're going to have an overflow! What I did was I let it come out of the holes for a good minute or two, then I plugged all but one of the holes and then wrapped the tires in plastic wrap (because it kept pushing out the bolts lol! Andi didn't have tape strong enough to hold them in place! I felt that plugging three out of the four holes helped it expand more to the tire instead of towards the holes as in it was denser without the risk of big air pockets
! Also WEAR GLOVES!!!!!! If you get it on yourself or anything you can use acetone to remove it before it cures! Make sure it is safe to do so for whatever material you're going to be applying the acetone too! You can also put some into a large zip lock baggie, toss the straw and nozzle into the baggie with the acetone and shake the hell out of it and use a qtip or three to get all that foam out of the nozzle and straw then use those qtips to add some to the spout on the can or just drip a few drops of the acetone in the hole of the spout on the can itself and you will be able to reuse it instead of it being trash!
0:47 WTH 😂 Xbox is that you?
Congrats on 100K!
If you end up revisiting this you should take a clear balloon and fill it with some of the foam and tie it off and just see what it does when it doesn't have that contact with the air. Then after about a day you could poke a hole into the balloon and really understand how the expanding foam was working in your tires after you popped them.
That was hilarious ! Can you say…OUT OF BALANCE, LOL.
What about putting foam in a deflated tire and then pressurizing it with air? The added air should cause the foam to fully expand inside the tire. I think you would have to determine how much air per can of foam is needed to allow full expansion. The foam manufacturer may have the answer.
Maybe. I used Great Stuff tire foam in a road bike.
I actually love your vids man
How this work in a tubeless tire
it cures in air. also when you fill it. if you use expanding foam again. spin the wheel as much as possible so that you dont build up clumps
Put a 19’ tire in a 20’ then a 18 in a 19’ and so on so on until your at 15’ and put some 15’ wheels on
Can't wait to see that
That sounds like it wold be kind of heavy.
A 19 foot tire??? I believe you meant 19"
@@timjohnson6864 no, he means 19', 29"ers be damned
Hey what's up Ryan Needle I have a question about Bmx Chains. i had a Full link chain and it snaped. I'm trying to figure out what's better Half link or full link chains let me know if ya can thx 👍🏼✌🏼
HAND CLEANING TIP: When you get foam on your hands rub them on dirt or sand to first make it stop sticking then use lacquer thinner to remove it while you rub it off with sand or whatever you used. Same thing as with oil based paints,first rubbing your hands in some grit to absorb the material does make the solvent do its job easier. Thank me later.
How about neoprene gloves
Acetone
I don't know which is worse? Foam or slime?
Part 2 bro I subscribed for it supply and demand bro I demand it lmao nah great video I hit the bell bro
Ryan Needleeeee!!
did you remove the inner tube? I am thingking to do the same.
Hi - What type of foam did you use - I tried it but the foam turned to rock and did not go all through the tire.....
12:55 it's called tire sealent. it's been available since forever in the mountain bike world, especially with tubeless setups. but hey, it's your revilation :D
Do you know how long this will keep a tyre up for?
They use it for motorcycles and cars but only supposed to be a temp fix
to have the foam work right you have to drill a hole on the opposite side of the valve stem so all the compressed air will escape and not have the foam spray everywhere when you pull the can off the valve
That's right I learned that from my own experiment with spraying foam in my moped tire. As you have to either drill holes in the tire or spray in the tire as it's off the rim so I can completely dry first.
This foo, I got thrown off when you said “homies” ha ha
Make a video on filling your tires with air. Tell us how that feels. You won't.
Techniques For Everything i would be so glad to see that lol
Ryan Needle you wont
Ryan Needle You WONT
Ryan Needle you won’t
No Balls.
What kind of bars do you have
Genius idea
Im with ya i got the same problem!
Glad I watched this before my attempt :D
Haha
Wow fantastic work
Been subbed since 20k
That South Bend Clutch tho hell yeah I had a stage 2 until I ripped the input shaft to bits.
The point is air interacts with the tires material which is rubber contracts and expands as need it, that’s why we use it in the cars industry as well, so far nothing is been able to replace that technique yet, but hey I get the point, try new things, discover new things, that’s the way things happen, great video thanks.
BTW get a fatbike or fatbmx for these tests. They would be a lot more dramatic and interesting. Love your channel, bro.
the propellant in those cans is co², so, take out the air from the can, then air it up with your bike pump
u think can i use it in my ktm chicago 2017? it's a mountain bike i dont do tricks with it :C
My son told me about your expanding foam video. I enjoyed your no fear encounter with it. I do all my lawn equiptment and snowthrower wheels. Fyi wd40 is my go to for getting adhesives off my hands. Kids in my area as a bad prank put crazy glue on bike grips. I will check out more of your videos. Take care.
That is awesome!
My go-to remover is PVC pipe cleaner. It works great, I've used it often.
Did you remove the valve stem first?
While going tubeless, instead of using Stan's, try using Flex Seal :)
so pretty much they already have that product.. Vittoria AIR-LINER. a cut to size foam insert to reduce the amount of air needed in a tubeless setup while giving some structure to the tire if all air pressure is released.
Man yo bro i love your vids
Your on to something DO NOT KEEP SEEKING!!!!😊
Bro digging that bike, where’d you pick it up from?
kool , nice experiment
sticky problems? however will you solvent?
did the tire survive? if not im sorry
I'd explain what went wrong but you already figured it out at the popping of the tire when it went flat, the liquid foam mixed with oxygen and started expanding! if you could fill it up without mixing any outside air how you did with the front tire, it would work as a good fix for getting your bike home after a flat the problem is that you got it to work in one tire but not the other and you were lucky to get that. I tried the same thing but I wanted to test the outcome for the average biker. I went to twenty bike shops and had each one try it on two tires each, knowing that each one of these people have changed hundreds of bike tires as a profession and out of fouty tires I got seven to fill up the tubes on the bike without messing it up in one way or another. so it's a good idea in theory but in practice it needs a better way of getting the liquid in after removing 100% of what's already in the tube AND not letting any outside air mix in while filling it. Did you remove "ALL" the air from the tubes when you did it or was there a little left in there? I had to manually remove what was left of the air by sucking it out with aquarium airline tubing stretched over the air intake of the tube before I filled mine and that kept it 100% liquid until i poked it with a nail and it filled it back up in only a few minutes but when I stabbed it with a knife it took close to an hour and it foamed out all over the place and you could feel the difference between the foam and the air while you ride it.
Did you do ever do it again
Denatured alcohol takes off expanding foam the best! And acetone works best on superglue!
How do you get them off now....?
Try it without the inner tube, kinda like going tubeless, but with foam. Just filling around the rim than seat the tire b4 it cures.
In the 90's you could get foam-filled tyres that were also in neon colours, advertised as "puncture proof". A British comic advertised them with a half-page strip re-using the American advertising material, which was set in LA and about kids able to go and get help after an earthquake even though there was broken glass all on the streets. It was basically a foreign language to British kids, of course.
Interesting!
i did it 7 years ago for my dad's Wheelbarrow
. it did not work because the faom was not displaced all around the tire which made it unbalanced while rolling
Did you take the inner valve out? Ironically you might have to make a hole in the tube to spray it in there. The valve might be too tiny & tight, even with the inner valve out.
I've always wanted to see what happens when you fill a tire with silacone
That was something I plan on doing too. Just haven't tried it yet
I had a wheelbarrow tire that would not climb up onto the rim no matter what, so I filled it with Great Stuff expanding foam and that did the trick.
Cobb car parts? What to you drive?
Is the foam better than slime?
Should have used door and window low expansion foam
Less expansion equals less air gaps in the cured foam equals firmer tires
Also the foam is supposed to cure in the presence of air
Achievement unlocked
To really give it a chance. I would lay the bike on its side spin the wheels frequently and let it dry for about 45 days to be sure it's cured. several years ago they had foam tubes I installed on a bike it left it pretty rigid but I don't see them anymore at the box store I'm going to have to look online and see if they still sell them.
For my bike I'm looking towards of getting that
The moment I saw the thumbnail for the video I knew you would have this problem... The issue is that expanding polyurethane as you thought is air cured, I had to make a model of a cell when I was a kid so I thought the easiest way to do it would be to get a bouncy ball, fill it up with expanding foam then cut a quarter of it away like a diagram in a book, after 2 days it was still liquid inside, what you could do like I ended up doing is cut the hole out to begin with or cut the tire into a string, then clamp one end, hang it up and slowly do squirt after squirt though you can only do layers less than a few inches deep at a time so that would take you rather a long while to fill the tire up then just bend it into place like the pool noodle tires. you could also try to put a can full or even a quarter of a can full into the tire, let out all the air, then pump it up full of air and let it sit for 20 min then repeat the process letting the air out then re filling it again and that might let it cure. Good luck!!!
Y u type the Wikipedia
Y u type Wikipedia
First video of yours I'm watching. By your voice, in the intro I thought I clicked onto one of iDubbbz's videos. You sound alot like him.
Fill your tires with orbeez if you can
I think you’ll need to add a combination of foam and air so it cures also would leave bike in the sun and rotate tires a few times so the stuff don’t end up in one side of the tube
I've worked with it multiple times, and just, hahahahah. Use thinner, paint thinner, it dissolves it and any "sticky"/"fast drying" glues. It'll come off, so scrub with a toss towel, then rinse it off with water and some soap
“Frustrating” not fustrating 👌🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣 props for landing the bar spin though!
Lobe your vids bro keep it up 👌🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
why didn't you just filled up the Tire with the stuff after removing the tube? i think it would be batter to do that.
I feel like with the idea you just came up with you could create your own expanding foam that could hold up a person's weight with no air in the tube or whatever,
mass produce it and start a business idk lol.
You should be able to remove that goop from your hands with baby oil. Yes, baby oil.
The military attempted to use that stuff as a non-lethal weapon. The way they removed it was - baby oil.
the foam works in things that don't spin at high RPM.. I have done it to my snowblower tires..Been 4 years without a flat on my snowblower.. where you went wrong was not putting vent holes in the tire so the foam can expand and fill the tire.. I did 4 holes.. 1 every 90* around the tire ..That way it allows the foam to expand evenly in the tire.. no flat spots.. The foam needs air contact to actually expand and cure..putting it in a sealed tube wont cut it...
some expanding foams need the water in the air to cure fully not the oxygen.....though bth im not sure if thats the type you used though as im not familiar with that brand
worked for me and a mate that got a flat with a motorbike.. worked fine for weeks actually..
how much does your bike weigh?
Im new but did he fill up a tire with hellium ?
When you put the cans of tube in your inner tube you got to spin it keep spinning it for I don't know how long I was told to do it but you got to spend your tire after you put it in there change it to sit there you got to spend it and let it go around it so it'll be equal around the whole tire inside and that helps secure cuz it's making air and flow inside there
Watch the big wipes demo
Use lackerthiner for cleanup
Hi. You need to fill de tire not the tube also drill holes on the side of the tire maybe 3-4 to let the foam dry completly
For the thumbnail, I would recommend that you use the magnetic lasso tool instead of the regular one. The tires wills look more round instead of edgy.
Acetone will wash expanding foam off easily. If you get to it within about 10 minutes.
Interesting, I want to see the do over
You needed to place holes in the tube for air to get out and for the foam to exspand and fill the voids. 😊
0:47 Why is the log in sound from Xbox in there lmao
yay nice one
what if you filled the tire without the tube in it .. let the foam fill the tire and cure .. then ride. but i'm not sure if its best to try to do it on the bike or not.. you might need to drill a hole or a couple holes around the tire to fill it evenly and since it will be foam filled the structural weakening with drilling holes may be less of a problem
After he said the product in the beginning did anyone notice the Xbox sound 😂😂
Thought that was my brother 😂
yep
I’m watching this becuz I’ve had the same idea the only issue with inside the tire is will enough air get to it to cure 100% and gotta also know the max to put in becuz it does expand so match but it’s gotta be stiff enough especially for long term it be a great replacement tho that foam would only be a prototype idea would have to make your own expanding foam that cures more stiffer and just as light maybe flexi seal be another idea
It's like you said it only expands if it touches air
I subbed a long time ago are we friends? Lol you should try fillin up ur tires with sponges or foam
Gas will clean that up. We use to use that in tractor tires and other equipment that would have trouble with flats.
it needs air to dry/evaporate so it can harden... trill holes in the tire and pump in the liquid through the holes
Ryan, were all thinking the same thing right now, YOU NEED TO BUILD UP A NEW AND REALLY SEXY BIKE but like change up the colors compared to your bike now
So many comments but nobody mention that you should keep the tire rotating to equal the foam around all of the tire
Should have rode it rite away so the foam would be be evenly filled or distributed through the tube through rotation it should help it ?? But that tube is totally blown bro. Lol. Hahaha.
gas works reely well to get that stuff off
Rub a decent coating of Vaseline gel on your hands before you work with sticky/messy products. The gel creates an oily barrier on the surface of your skin, nothing will stick. Then just simply wipe it off, apply again if need be.
Yaaasssss queen expanding foam 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Try using flexible foam then another silicon caulking filler or flexible clear caulk its expensive $9.00 per tub probably need 10 tubes.
It uses water from the air to cure you have to drill a bunch of holes and add water
