nice stretch,just out of interest cos I just got a schwinn dolomite with 100mm rims,what size tire is that flame 3inch?cos thats the look I want,low profile rather than the ugly factory ones on mine
did the same thing using rifle cases nickel plated real simple to do
That kenda is 3in. Another cool looking tire that will fit that rim is a CST Cyclops 26x2.4 in. There is a California company that builds ruff cycle bikes that uses the Cyclops on a lot of their builds. Also I believe the Cyclops has an even more lower profile than the kenda. As far as making those valve caps , the easiest way is to assemble as shown in photo . I have a friend who reloads his own ammo so it was easy to obtain the components. You just have to trim down the plastic cap a bit with a utility knife, add some epoxy to it so it does not spin in casing, and drill out bottom.
Added another photo of something I been working on . Hope to have done soon.
