Might want to be very careful with fumes from burning carb / brake cleaner.......

Mick - used carb cleaner, and as you just posted that thought id check it, no mention of such gasses on here (thankfully!), only harmful to breath in vapours and get in touch with skin, thankfully.

It is impressively undramatic when it works, and (as long as your kit survived) most amusing when it doesn't ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks!

Haha love it, so if it doesn't work you have a burnt buckled wheel.

I presume you're mostly igniting the butane propellant from the carb cleaner? Why not cut out the middle man and go for camping gas / gas lighter refill?

Can we have a video when you try this ๐Ÿ™‚

I have just bought some 24" inner tubes to redo the rear, its a right PITA re-inflate with this method (as my tye decided to unseat both sides during the night). Also built the centre up with foam so with the new split tube method hopefully it will be easier!

I couldn't find a butane/propane refill at the time!

It also appears that I uploaded the incorrect "working" version as that one didnt work! Heres the correct working version.
