Dear Craig,
I would be highly interested in your experiences with the bicycle tubes.
Please tell me: how exactely have you cut them in 4 mm rings with 90° angle?
(Knive or cicle? Is any further assistance needed?)
How is the running behaviour? Really the same as with the original Lego tyres?

party. (Pascal - who had the idea first - told it worked better than anything
else.)
Thanks!
Ben
