Inflatable tires???
The 30% Paulistinha comes with very nice inflatable rubber tires. There's a brass valve fitting on the inside and the kit includes a needle for it. Two problems though. FIRST, the provided needle doesn't fit any pump that I have or can find. So I reached for the trusty duct tape and that seems to work well enough. SECOND, the needle doesn't seem to actually insert into the valve on the tire (like a normal needle would insert snugly into a football). I can loosely slot it in but the tire doesn't inflate. It doesn't even look like the needle can be inserted any further.
So what gives? Has anyone used this type of tire before? I don't see a brand name anywhere. Am I just doing it wrong?
