Yes, it's a small saw (~1300mm blade range )
Thanks for the tip. That's a prominent thing I need to look at,
especially if it's a second hand.

Just been comparing the new tyre with the old and I have to say the old rubber or synthetic rubber tyre is far more grippy than the TPU version. Think I'll still press ahead with the second one but

Well, seems to fit OK.? Could be a little wider and thicker.? I think the reason for the discrepancy is I measured the old tyre while it was on the wheel.? I stretched it off the wheel to use the

I will step in for Julian if OK.
Basically it is a tyre or in the US called "tire", normally moulded of some

What drafting programme did you use to create the shape in the photo, guessing "9 curves" ? after measuring the circumference of the wheels.

Of possible interest to people with 3D printers and band saws!
