Riding my coker has become too easy. So today I filled the tube with water and began idling. Look at this movie (1,2 MB). I can recommend it to anybody with weak legs – idling with a water filled tube really builds up your muscles.
Don’t let your Coker freeze. You could end up with a real mess.
hmmm … now all you need is clear tubes…
And some guppies to swim while riding
Re: water idling
Looks good. Where did you get THAT idea???

I wonder if Stockton would charge more to ship his wheels that way. Let me ask my Eight Ball… It said yes.
Well, the water would be free, and yes, even the labor… but UPS/Fedex/USPS…
But would you ship it with Swedish water?
Great idea, GC. Now work on idling with the opposite leg down to equalize your strength training.

No, Holy Water, but then, of course, the air would leak in.
well this is kinda off the subject but what the hay
i was gonna steal some soccer balls from the local soccer club and fill them with water and pull them on the field at soccer practise and wait of some kid to come running up and kick the hell out of it (maybe they might break there foot:( . but it would be hilarious )
and by the way how the hell did you get the water in there, the only way i can think of is pumping it up by hand with the pump under water, is that it?
saam out

Hmm, I can’t watch that .mov … never mind.
If you really want more angular momentum in your wheel you should fill it
with jelly! I’M SERIOUS. The water in your tyre will not move/rotate with
the tyre so although the weight of the wheel is increased the angular
momentum will stay the same; the wheel will rotate around the water.
If you fill your tyre with jelly (or similar) it will grip the insides of
the inner tube and move with the tyre.
Have fun, and use inner tubes you’re prepared to cut off your wheel.

P.S. Jelly may or may net be served at the price included meals at BUC12

“Your fish are dead.”
“I know, I…can’t get 'em out of there.”
how do you get water in the tube or evan better a soccer ball?
Ahem…he said he got the idea on the 1st of april…DUH!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!
Take the valve out of the tube, fill with water, replace valve and pump a little more air to fill total.
