      I am having this idea of using some wide rubber bands as tires. I dont have the soft tires so I dont know how good the grip is, do you guys know ifrubber bands would provides more friction than the soft tires?

      I would think so.. but you need your bands to be small enough to tighly grip the rims so they don’t roll loose around them. Do they even make rubber bands that small and that wide? Would be an intresting experiment… what’s next.. rubber cement… painted latex wheels.. heh e

      You should try the tiny rubber bands that go on braces (teeth braces). You can get a bagfull for like $1-$2. A nice orthodontist might even give you some for free! smiley1.gif
