Two Wheel Dolly Tube Repair - Worst Design Ever !!!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Good tip to use the electrical tape on the rim. That does a good job protecting the tube

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Lloyd Yes it sure prevents future punctures. Thanks 👍

[@Erated78]

Thanks Steve, some great info here and you’re right those tires always leak - the electrical tape on the rim is a fantastic idea - cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Ed Glad it was helpful!

[@EverydayProjects]

I broke my right thumb 16 years ago inflating one of these dolly tires at a gas station. It was a cheap rim too, one with a two-piece rim bolted together. I inflated the tire (too much) and when I was screwing the valve stem cover on, the rim exploded! It broke my thumb at the base! It was very painful but I drove to the hospital on my own and had it casted. Later, I read on the sidewall to inflate with a hand pump only. Now I know why. More amazingly, a few weeks later, while at Home Depot with my hand in a cast, There was a man in line at the cash with his hand in a cast. I could hardly believe it when he told me that he’d broken his hand inflating a dolly tire with an air compressor!!!!!!!!! Those rims are dangerous ⚠️ I see that the rim on yours is welded but still not well. Be careful out there. Another great video, Steve 100% watched.🎉

[@SteveRobReviews]

@EverydayProjects Wow that was a day you don't forget eh.

[@EverydayProjects]

@@SteveRobReviews When I realized that there was another man who was injured by the same two piece rim I thought that this was a much wider problem. I spoke to a lawyer who said it is very difficult to get companies in other countries to take responsibility for dangerous products, especially China. There is little leverage the Canadian government has in altering their policies or making them responsible for defective products that cause injuries.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@EverydayProjects Yes exactly as we have legislative regulations for minimum standards but our idiots running the countries pass legislation to allow countries to import unregulated products . Fill a politicians pockets with money and you can get pretty much anything you want 🤷

[@AngelsAware]

Good job after all Steve! You get what you pay for and nowadays that isn’t much!! Enjoyed today’s stream. Thanks! Also our entire family is watching and enjoying more than ever!! God Bless🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@SteveRobReviews]

@AngelsAware Thanks much, appreciated. Rarely do we ever get more by paying less :)

[@rocketrider1405]

I just bought two no-flat tires for my hand truck aka dolly. I’m glad I did because I could never fix the inner tube - yikes! too much work! Thanks for your video!

[@mustang774]

Hey Steve, great video. l have a dolly from Canadian Tire that is about 25 years old and it has served me well over the years. I did replace one of the rims a few years ago as the bolts holding the rim together fell out and I couldn't find the right size replacements. I replaced it with a plastic rim no problems with it at all. My little kayak cart with the same size wheels but with plastic rims would not keep air at all. I bought two new tubes and replaced them and now they are perfect. It was difficult to get the small tires on and off the rims. Next time I will use a bit of silicone spray as that seemed to work well for you........Take care, Bluefin.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks buddy , the smaller the tire more money goes in the swear jar :)

[@DIYVariety]

Great fix, im surprised everydayprojects is still alive lol

[@SteveRobReviews]

@DIYVariety Thanks Jason.

[@PAPATexas]

I might of texted you about this. I added a tube to one of my tires and I can't get the tire back on! I have a lot of dollies at my work and we found an extra tire and wheel and put that one on. Our main dollies now a days are expensive mag-liners. Nice fix with the electrical tape, that is what I was thinking. Smaller tires are harder to work with like backing a shorter trailer is! You finally got the tire back on! Good job Steve Rob! I have a dolly at the house with hard tires that I have hade since about 1980!

[@SteveRobReviews]

@PAPATexas Hi Papa , yes the smaller the tire the harder .

[@wtbm123]

Just done a tire on one of those . Tried a slime patch and it just peeled back off . Had to use an old patch kit i had . I agree flat free is the way to go.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Terry I'm slowly switching over to flat free but man they are getting quite expensive.

[@BruceLyeg]

I need to do this to one of the wheels on my pressure washer. Never thought to check for crappy welds on the rim

[@SteveRobReviews]

@BruceLyeg There ya go Bruce , your all set now 👍

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

The newer dolly cart tires are not as good as the old ones, the old ones where as strong as trailer tires and had heavy duty tubes. You can still get durable tires but they dont come with any dolly carts i know of, I would probably buy a cheap dolly cart but get nicer tires and maybe spray paint the cart a cool color.

[@SteveRobReviews]

[@PinetreeLine]

Give me the older style hard plastic wheels all day long Steve! Thanks Buddy!

[@SteveRobReviews]

I don't remember having so much trouble with these 40 years ago but I don't remember so much wingwang back then either 🤣😅

[@JimE6243]

Steve, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the hole in the tube on the tire side and not the rim side meaning a rough spot on the inside of the tire? Like the rod in a vise idea. I hate wrestling with those little rims/tires. Thanks. JimE

[@SteveRobReviews]

@JimE6243 Hi Jim , I have seen it on both but every time so far its been from the rim side as the rims are not cleaned much as metal debris does find it's way to the tire side and cause a leak.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she gin'? Leaking tires, what a way to ruin your afternoon. Nice fix here. I find the tires will rot almost before you can get the tube repaired!! Take 'er easy!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

@GrampiesWorkshop The tires today are mostly so cheap and so easily to puncture , I think they are one ply tires at most :)

[@Sylvan_dB]

Some times things need fixing... And now it is better than new! I had to do the same thing with on my Harbor Freight (similar to Princess Auto cheap junk). I demounted the tires to grind down and repaint the inside of the wheels. Been probably 20 years now, and while I do need to add air before using, it holds for a few days. I suspect it has picked up a thorn or two. :) I grew up using "hand trucks" with semi-pneumatic (solid) rubber wheels. I discovered after buying my own that pneumatic tires on the hand truck can be aired down to more easily squish over the edge when going up and down stairs. Much less work! I wish I had been able to air down when I was a teen hauling 250 pounds of clay up the stairs in Junior High school!

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@Sylvan_dB Hi Sylvan We all live and learn what works best . Cheers 👍

[@ChevyCitation]

Hello Steve Cheers 👍

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@ChevyCitation Cheers!!!

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Maybe they should include the patch kit when buying it 😂 Take care Steve✌

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Marc That's an idea of confidence in their product quality 👌 🤣😅

[@michaelbner1371]

Was this method used as the top layer / cap sheet?

[@SteveRobReviews]

@michaelbner1371 Not sure what your asking ?

[@wyattoneable]

I like the tape idea. It's to bad you had to make this repair so soon but I know you can handle it.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@@wyattoneable Hi Wyatt It's like everything I own is constantly falling apart the older I get 🤣😅

[@houndsmanone4563]

Steve, I've had to do many innertube replacements for two wheel dollies and have bent up more wheel rims than I'd like to mention. Nice work. Full-watch. Take it easy. 👍🏽🤠 08/11/24

[@SteveRobReviews]

@houndsmanone4563 Thanks bud 👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

Now we know how to fix crap! lol

[@SteveRobReviews]

@ozzstars_cars Hi Glen , crap can be a challenge for some but I'm actually good at fixing crap 🤣😅

[@PaiviProject]

Wow. As if was a single female and buying something like that I would be really heartbroken and fukhin MAD if this be happening !!! Luckily dat has not happen :) I like how you fixed the situation. Boy, those dollies are so freaking darn handy. Have a fantastic Sunday, Buddy. I just went in a Rock the Hops even tonight. I haven't been out like this for over 2 years. I drink bunch of whole hella different kinds of beer with my good friend and my Hubby. I mean Holy tchit those name of those beers :) Also...fuk the freaking music was most of the time....some kind of rap (?) & screeeeeeming. The beer was flavorful....all sorts of ways and I enjoyed truly BUT the best time I had was with neighbors later at the project house. Anyways, you sure fixed the tire great. Okay, I'm gonna shutup now 👋👋👋

[@SteveRobReviews]

@PaiviProject Hi Paivi , you have a great Sunday too buddy 👍

[@bunyanforgings7849]

I bought my dolly from PA about 20 plus years ago. On the third set of wheels. Third set are the 'flat free' variety. No issues. Then l bought a pair of flat free on sale from PA for $20.00. Mointed them on a dolly l had made. First bump and the rims bent. Ended up making new hubs. That's chinesium for you. Total crap shoot. Cheers.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@bunyanforgings7849 Wingwang stuff is sold at a great price point but like you say it's a crap shoot if you get a good product or more wingwang crap 🤣😅

[@gatorsworld]

Wing wang is looking at you put this thing back together Steve and there thinking about you for the next prospect for the the big factory way up the river some hot and humid place were you would be in for a promotion to work on the wheel barrel line. That’s the life of a wing wang boy. Good thing we’re retired and we don’t have to compete…..CHEERS

[@SteveRobReviews]

@gatorsworld I think your right Gator 👍

[@joeo1352]

😂sunlight will breakdown a run flat tire given time. It’s all trumps fault, yep we need tariffs and a wall. Have a good one Steve

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Joe Sunlight sure can deteriorate everything and even turn people orange too 🤣😅

[@joeo1352]

Orange 🍊 Good one 😂
