Hi All, I suppose, aus-soaring being what it is, that consequent to this posting there will be about a hundred replies saying that the idea is anteduluvian or that there is a better answer.
Most pilots, following a tyre repair on a main wheel, have to be extremely careful not to pinch and ruin the tube by having it caught between the two halves of the wheel. I know that putting some air in the tube helps a bit but it is not easy. I solved the problem by fitting some old mylar around one half of the wheel using contact adhesive. About half of the mylar acted as a guide for the other half of the wheel. The mylar was attached with the curve outwards. Worked a treat, Harry Medlicott
