I pick up the method with the flowerpot from the 4”dcc part of this forum- see” front tires the easy way”- and this work out so well that I would recommend it to every one. Take 5 min to put the rubber around the rim. As Isoflex is not available in the Netherlands I use Sikaflex which is a rubber compound in a tube. I used this before in commercial jobs and now is will be a strong rubber if it is hardened.
