wheel chair tires
Good morning everyone. I want to ride a skateboard to practice with my NASA kite. I'm having trouble finding my own skate and when I think the prices
are high and I can't. I found a set of wheels to sell in my country at a price I can afford. I wonder if it would be possible for me to practice with
these wheels in the measurements of the photo. The tires are not inflatable and according to the manufacturer they can handle about 120kg, they are
for wheelchairs. The place I will use is hard earth, mixed with grass, gravel and loose sand. Currently I have tried to use a longboard skateboard
with tractor wheels, but their diameter is 10cm by about 6cm in width and ends up locking a lot on the ground.

You would have to make sure the axle/bearing diameter is appropriate. It will be a stiff ride if it works and no guarantee the wheel hub won't fail
as there is a lot of side load when powered on a landboard and I doubt wheel chair wheels are built with that consideration. If you want to do this
on the cheap (not a criticism), it might be better to try your kite on short lines and your longboard in a parking lot. That I know will work.

Referring to the bearing diameter is the same used in sktate 22 x 8 x 7. Regarding weight, according to specifications supports up to 120kg and is the
bead is made in Nylon with total weight of 300grs each. My doubt is regarding the width, 3.7 would be too thin to be able to walk on uneven terrain?
For Me to ride on asphalt I have skateboarding, already for uneven terrain which is the place I have most appropriate to walk i don't have.

Good morning everyone. I gave up on the wheelchair tires and ended up finding the 2.50-4 tire in my city for an excellent price, the rim I can print
on my 3D printer using ABS plastic and the truck I also found for a price I can afford. Would that be a good set?

Guys, I would like to know between the tires in photo 1 and photo 2, which would be the most suitable for riding on very uneven terrain with beaten
sand, loose sand, pebbles, holes and undergrowth?

Cool that yesterday my fabric also arrived for the construction of the 7m NPW21. Soon I will post on a new topic.
