Man your quad looks sick!! One question- whats with the Walmart high performance noodles? I heard from a customer of mine about making tireballs out of something from walmart. Is that what you use? And if so how do you make them and install them ect. ? Thanks and keep on riding.

Thanks! Its a buget racers way of finishing a race if a flat occurs....

Ive been running the big wal-mart noodles, cut them down to 6 inches for the front and ran 19 of them stacked side by side so that the cut ends pressed against the sidewall.

Do the rears the same way except cut to 10 inch pieces.

I air the tire as usual, this is just cheap insurance to finish a race if i happen to get a flat, so far so good!

other people have started to run a "wally ball" its a small like 4 inch playground ball from walmart they stack in their tires... but I have not tried them.

Hey thanks alot I am going over walmart tomorrow and grabbing a few. Are there different sizes of the noodles? and how many should i buy to do all four tires? I run 22-7-10 fronts and 20-11-9 rears. I dont want to have to run back over. thanks again!!
