wow, you guys must be do-it-yourselfers completely!

i dont have receipt, i think i left it in the self-checkout printer.
do this:

1. walk in to your local hardware store
2. bring an xmods tire with you
3. walk up to the first employee you see (theyre there to help)
4. show him/her the tire, say you need tubing the same thickness and diameter as that. perhaps insulation tubing
5. wait for him/her to hopefully go, "its down this aisle"
6. buy precut and bouce.


thats almost exactly what i did. it was either vacuum hose or insulation hose. the compound is almost the same as rubber, they also sell thicker foam tubing (such as insulation hoses in your cars engine compartment but i didnt bother buying anything

i also noticed the wheel bump ion the middle, i cut the tire to width, turned it inside out, and dremelled a cut in the tubing all the way around. the reinforced cutting wheels but the perfect width the first time
