Tire and a rope.
Will have to make a visit to home depot and get an idea of the cost and how much space it takes up, thank you.
It’s an option, but the difficulty with the tire is that I can’t adjust the loads, without getting a different tire altogether.
By association, just today I picked up 50m of black nylon 1/4in rope for my Isorobic exerciser at a local hardware store. Cost me $28 US. I’d attach a photo, however, it is a pain in the ass to attach photos to this forum due to having to use on-line means of resizing all file sizes.
All ropes with poly sheathing are not good for isorobic or Apollo exerciser.
After few runs the top coat/sheathing starting to separate from inner core and creates uneven resistance, can even stuck, dangerous.
Good point.
If I could get a rope at anywhere near the cost you got it, that sounds pretty good to me. I’ll have to look around hardware stores around me. Thank you.
At the store I went to the white nylon 1/4" rope was 13 cents a foot and the black was 16 cents a foot. I suspect these sorts of prices must be somewhat uniform across the us. Perhaps even cheaper in the major franchise stores like Home Depot, Lowes…
I really hope that’s the case.
Put a tube in the tyre, take the valve out and keep the cap. Use a garden hose, when the weight is right put the cap on.
A ships chandler supply cords and pullies to yachts. When I was using thay sort of stuff that is where I went.
I think I’m a lil confused…so is that a way of pumping water into the tire to make it heavier?
Yes, put the hose over the valve stem and turn the tap on. 1 gallon of water weighs 10lb. A 14" tyre with tube will make more weight then you need
The wheels on a tractor tyre are filled with water as a means of getting the power to the ground, without water it will simply spin and bury itself.
I see. Thank you for the explanation.
