What would be the use for this one? Punctuation prevention? I have been using a cart with "full rubber tires" (direct translation from German) and it was terrible to use: too hard, too much resistance while cartwheeling around ... I finally broke a wheel (it was an ancient spoke wheel with steel spokes) while changing stations in Glasgow, Scotland, coming back from a solo trip in Scotland with my folding kayak single and lots of winter camping luggage. I had an interesting trip back to Germany via London, Ipswich, Heathrow ("interesting" as in the old Chinese curse "May you have interesting times!"). I am a strong advocat of pneumatic tires, since. > Either in the inner tube or with the inner > tube removed in the outer tire? ... > I've got 2 carts = 4 tires, at the moment > all flat! You might have a look at some instant repair foam in a spray can. It is been sold for instant repair of punctuated bicylce tires (without need of an air pump) over here. The volume of such a can might be enough to fill the whole kayak cart wheel. I have no information on the long term durability of the foam. It is supposed to fix a whole in the inner tube permanently, though.
