Made from butyl rubber with modern high pressure molds, woven with metal wire and not just nylon. The overall based on the pro’s, better psi and weight rating than old gum-wall clincher design tires, more tire tread. I kind of wish I could afford the sand enduro tires, on and off-road due to water wash-outs and sand patch problems with rural road riding, sand tires are far more safer for winter riding than these low grip tires. The tire takes a few hours without or a few minutes to straighten it out after unfolded with a blow dryer or heat-Gun, to install it. I use light grease or petroleum jelly to install tires by hand with no pry-bars, without risking damage, no pry-bars were included in package, I bought a pair of tires for a modified Schwinn world sport 1984-September with 1983 S.Sprint steel chrome rims and sun-tour hubs(Japanese parts) polished freewheel by hand, took 10 hours to get it clean with scotch-bright glued to a plastic card and chemical cleaning products, fine sand paper for final polishing. The Olympics reminded me why I needed to take care of an old bike and my heart. I have not installed the tires yet due to waiting for my air-brush, so I could restore the decals(detail work) and cover the paint scars, custom restoration projects take time with less error. Using caution when installing new tires and tubes prevents wasted time, silicone self sealing hose tape and alternative rim liners with non-volatile lubricants will lengthen the life of tires and tubes and prevent water from getting into the RIM with older bike designs, silicone caulking is way to messy to seal a rim unless your a pro-bike builder. Your going to want a paper-hole puncher if your making custom rim liners for an old bike. I don’t like flat tires so I made my own out of an old tube to double up on protection from spokes probing or puncturing my new tubes.

Kastaplast
Kastaplast is an independent disc manufacturer based in Stockholm, with the aim to create discs and gear of highest quality.
Kastaplast is dedicated to the disc golf culture, the people, the lifestyle and all the fun times all around the disc golf world. They look at disc golf as a grassroot movement with its own unique identity; characterized by spontaneity, individuality and freedom.
Starting off in 2011 as a small prototyping workshop, driven by the fun factor of experimenting, the business soon grew out of the basement of Jonas Lindberg as he was joined by Anders Källström and Per Jonson. Still, the “workshop style” of developing discs has stayed, with a mix of computer flight simulation, research and extensive prototyping.
Kastaplast is determined to keep the ecological footprint as low as possible. One step in this direction is the use of solar energy that today powers a major part of their production. Recycling is another. Moving in the direction of sustainability is important to both us at Tomahawk Discs and Kastaplast which is why we are such a great fit! Tomahawk Discs is proud to be an official retail partner of Kastaplast!
