  • Hard rubber buggy tires started in the 1800's. This is the brief history behind today's rubber tires and how they are installed on buggy wheels. The era of the horse drawn era is where many of our dynamics of the modern automobile originated. Thanks for coming along!

How about an episode of something of a miniature pony-drawn baby carriage with rubber-tired wheels? That way you could name the episode "The How, When, & Why of Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers and Tires". It sounds like something you'd actually do with your "tongue in cheek".

You do all these things and teach as you do them. One more of your attributes is entertaining. You remind me of the streaming classes you can take to learn this stuff. Don’t think for a moment you are redundant! You are not! Every video,even the same subject, is always fresh with new content. I just wish you had an apprentice to carry on your work.

    Here in northern Iowa about 15 years ago several counties had a bit of problem with metal tires on wheels used by religious groups who did not want to accept the change to rubber. There was significant problems with metal tires cutting into black top roads, especially in the summer when the sun warmed the road surface making them softer. I believe the result was a change by the groups as the counties and state did not want to ban them but yet they had trouble with the wear to the roads. So it stands to reason that in the west in those early days hard surfaces were not that common. I am always amazed at this process and always enjoy seeing it again.

    The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling in Akron, Ohio, and named after Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanized rubber. Seiberling started with 13 workers making bicycle and carriage tires, and the company grew to become the world's largest tire company in 1916.

    I simply love that Rube Goldberg machine to mount the rubber tire onto the channel with all its clamps and levers and screws and wheels. Talk about your basic uni-tasker but, even so, it does what it does so well. Whoever invented that thing was a demented genius. And then, for all that it actually does, you end up banging the tire on the floor to close up the rubber, forming a complete tire. This may have been my favorite episode from your channel that I've seen.

    I appreciate the history lesson. I knew rubber tires predated the automobile but it never occurred to me to consider the difference in American and European use of rubber tires. It stands to reason they'd be in use in Europe then the Eastern US then maybe out west as paved (cobblestone) roads became more common.

    I had the opposite problem with metric yesterday. I had asked the people who store my Three Wheeler Morgan over the winter in the south of France, while I am back in the UK, to replace the crankshaft position sensor to improve the hot starting (a known fault with the US made S&S V twin engine once over 10 years old). I supplied the updated sensor kit and translated all the instructions into French for them. When I arrived to collect the vehicle yesterday, not only was the battery flat, as their cleaner had unplugged the battery tender at some point from its wall socket but they had been unable to change the sensor, as the US made engine uses all AF head bolts and they only had metric spanners. I am going to lend them my set of AF spanners later in the year to have another go.

    I still crack up every time I see that No. 1 Warner & Swasey turret lathe you have repurpose for wheel turning. The amazement of tensioning the wire just right to the tune before trimming and welding, what a art that is. Thanks for sharing from Ken down in South Texas.

    Somehow, this video is a more detailed/comprehensive version of the similar, earlier video explaining how tires are set, but was easier for me to follow/understand.
    I guess that's why artisanal craftsmanship is indiscernible from magic!
    Another great video, Dave!

    I appreciate you sharing your knowledge Dave. I will likely never put any of it into practice, the only experience I have of wagons is the wheel that my dad kept at the front of our childhood home. I never thought to ask him the significance of it, though I do have fond memories of watching him paint and pinstripe it as a young child. ✌ 🇦🇺

    I had no idea how those buggy tires actually worked. If asked I would have said they were crimped in by the legs of the channel. Obviously totally wrong. Entertaining and educational.

    Dave, that contraption is really quite ingenious. Is that your own design? Great video, by the way, with great explanations of what you are doing and why you're doing it.

    I really like your calm and relaxing voice, you explained this process very well. I had no idea on how rubber was put on a wagon wheel and surely didn't think I would watch it being done...WOW! ya got me. You have such a captivating presentation, thanks for posting.🌞

    Amazing, very technical, and specialized machine. Looks like hand made or heavily modified.
    This is pure skill. Artisanship pure. ... Pounding those hue wheels on the ground like that... I'd want an apprentice.

    It sounds like when you plucked the wires for the replacement tire you were tensioning them till they sounded so they wouldn't be like a B flat! Sorry I just could't resist. Always enjoyable to watch how it's done.
