It drives me crazy to see you redo so many 16" frames and I have had mine sitting here for over two years.

Sux for collectors like us that want to restore them cuz we gotta boil that shyt in water to take them off and put them back on the rim
Toyshopcustoms gave us the trick to doing that. Boil them in a big pot to soften the rubber then you should be able to remove them or put a set onOriginally posted by schwinn1966@Aug 19 2006, 01:44 AM~5996391
i never knew how to take those off i would cut em with a knife :0
