Yesterday, 11:51 AMWell, I don't know who that "some guy" was, but he sounds like he is pretty far from the mark. I've run a total of 10 16" Sailun tires since 2011 and...7 replies | 164 view(s)

Yesterday, 08:43 AMThey recommend opening the channel slightly with some needle nosed pliers, and filing any burrs down. Ours slid in very easily. I put the channel as...9 replies | 179 view(s)

04-22-2024, 09:03 PMYes, they are not that difficult to install. I did all the work myself, except for the actual installation of the large slide roller in the front,...9 replies | 179 view(s)
