The Murphy Builders Site

Hi all,
I got some Goodyear 8.50 X 6 tires with Aero Classic tubes. The tubes have straight valve stems. I don't see how this combo will work. Can anyone offer some advice? Do I need to get an angled valve stem adapter? A salesman at Desser tire just told me there is not an 8.50 tube with an angled valve stem. Is going tubeless an option?
Thanks.
Jesse

The bent stem tubes are apparently not aircraft tubes Jesse. I've
purchased them from MAM and the unltralight store in Vernon. Don't know
about 8.5 but the 6.0 wide ones are available at Walmart, farm supply
stores, etc. Carlisle is a popular manufacturer.

Thanks Ken,
I guess nothing is simple in this hobby. I thought 8.50 aircraft tire, 8.50
aircraft tube...good to go. The problem is the nicely machined Murphy
wheels don't quite match the "aircraft" norm when it comes to valve stems.
Learning every day. I talked to Jeff at MAM who wasn't much help
recommending tubes for my Goodyear tires. He said 8.50 tires are approved
for the JDM wheels, and that's about it. He did say that they changed the
wheels a couple years ago to take 45* stems instead of 90* because they
were too hard to get consistently. I did find the Carlisle 800x6 tubes
quite ubiquitous on the web. Do you think they will work for 850s? I have
another mystery to solve. It never ends.
Thanks
Jesse

Hi Jesse I got my carlisle tubes at my local car and farm tire store. For a
cheap tube they hold air quite well. I only need to top them up once every
2 or 3 months.

Thanks Bob and drew,
Drew, are you using 850 tires? If so, did you find Carlisle 850x6 tubes?
Bob, I am using the bungee gear, but plan on giving Wayne a measurement

Hi Jesse I''m using 8.00x6 carlisle tires. I think the same tubes should be
fine with your 8.50's though. For the price it's worth trying them I think
they were about $15.

800x6 should be fine.
The rule is go smaller but never an over large tube that might wrinkle
or fold.
I also like to inflate then let all the air out so it can reposition
itself and then inflate again. Talcum powder on it doesn't hurt either..
