Sharpening tyres

[2fitty]

tried that yesterday, shapened an old screw driver up on the bench grinder and stone, perfect size for soldering iron,
worked mint, but its just having the patience to do they whole tyre.

I imported one of these knoby knikes before they were available here. Just great. With 3 bikes (mine and 2 kids), tyres were getting expensive. The knife is wide enough to do a kobble and 15min tops with no niose, smoke, or mess (grinder) I have a 'new' sharp tyre. This is a great way to get 4-5 tyres out of one.

If you are sick of buying tyres, then get a knobbly knife !!!!!

Hi - you need this tool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwdXQMG3n-4 The product is called a Knobby Knife and Customlight Engineering is the Distributor for New Zealand. Made in the USA it's a high quality product and works very well. We have sold loads of these after the write up we had in Dirt Rider Down Under. I use one on my KLX450 as it's fairly hard on tyres. I have managed to sharpen one particular Pirelli 5 times - and my technique is still getting better. This tool has a heated blade and cuts through tyres like butter. It is specifically designed for Knobbly tires. The current Special Price is $129.95 with free shipping by Courier. They are on Trade Me at a higher price. Email me jonathan@customlight.co.nz or 021 581581 if you would like one.

Used to use angle grinder, but the best is. . . and this is where we have to be more careful than a Somalian water taxi driver;
a Skilsaw. Use a clamp to hold back the safety guard (ok this is sounding more dodgy every moment) being careful to be holding it outstretched so if you dropped it it would not fall on you. Wear mask & earmuffs.

& then wipe it over the leading edges screaming "Eat Spinning steel Space Wankers"

will you start a thread on how to re attach the body parts lost during this exercise
