Wheel barrow anecdote:
Our barrows (wheel barrow and sack barrow) both agricultural sturdy variety, came with pneumatic tyres.
All very well for smoothing the ride, but not compatible with evil spikey things off brambles and some trees, like lemon.
So, nearly every year, I would be deflated and take wheel to local garage for puncture repair. :thumbdown:
Yes, you, like our neighbours and others roll their eyes and think I should do the fix myself.
I'll have you all know that back in the dark ages I used tyre levers and repaired punctures on car tyres, before tubeless came along. :clap:
Anyway, the inconvenience and repair cost, motivated me to find a supplier of indestructible tyres.
Blew cobwebs off wallet and replaced barrow wheels.
Initial reaction by others was extravagant sod.
But after a few years, got them chin rubbing and some have joined me in the foam tyre club, unstoppable barrow boys! :dance:
