Gees! Took delivery of my Rock-N-Roller Kart last month from NFLX. Took it on one gig and went to use it again two days ago and one of the pneumatic tires is flat. Not Good!

I have one of those emergency air compressors that plug into your cigarette lighter hole. I've used it before to inflate auto tires that were a bit low.

This tire is one of the rear R-N-R 12. It actually has pulled away from the plastic rim so there is no real seal. I attempted to inflate it with the auto compressor. It got hard but wouldn't budge past 20+ lbs of air pressure. Stop, and the tire de-inflates. So, I went to the local gas/food place nearby to the 75 cent Air Compressor. Bigger compressor so I thought that might do the trick. Nope. It looked like it was going to seal and be fine...went flatt as soon as I stopped putting in the air.

Anybody else had a problem like this with their Rock-N-Roller Kart? I believe that somebody had made mention of a solid tire that they had ordered and received for their Kart. Is this a common occurrence with this particular unit w/pneumatic tires?

I noticed that one area of the tire seemed to be "harder" (more solid) than the rest of the tire. You don't suppose the inner tube is twisted inside?

Last resort...will take to the local Tire service center and see if They can fix it. :trisad:
 
Not what i wanna hear this morning:trisad:
Just ordered one from Ben last Friday --- R10
Hope i don't have the same problem:triconfused:

Do you think "Slime" the green stuff, would work?

P.S. Kirby if i have the same problem and can't get it resolved... and if you still have those no-flat tires and they will fit my cart--- i will get in touch with you.
 
Hey Guys
If you have order the carts from us since Mobile Beat Rock-n-Roller should be getting you new wheels that don't go flat. If this has NOT happened let me know and I will get it taken care of. All carts bought from us at or after Mobile Beat are to be retro-fit for free!

If there are any questions please let me know!

Kirby...looks like Kat can get me new wheels. I'll call her. I'll wait and see how NFLX handles the flat tire issue. I bought the Kart from NFLX.
 
Kirby...hold on until I get a reply from Kat. I sent email a few minutes ago.
 
Thanks, Kat. Got it.

Kirby, I'm all set but thanks for the offer. We're here to help one another....thanks, again, Kirby.

No problem Art! Glad yer getting this issue resolved. :)

(Ignore my PM then... :D)
 
Kat/Ben got my R-12 retro-fitted with the new wheels. AWESOME is all I can say about that. :)
 
You know....it certainly is nice to have a group of associates who are willing to help one another...and bash, too, but in good taste!
 
Good info here. I didn't know they now had flat-proof wheels. I battle with deflated tires constantly...even though these tires have tubes installed. I used to love my RR carts. I'm now tired of their issues and the finger-pinching. I'm ready to move on to something else. Has Ultimate resolved their patent infringement issues yet?
 
I'm pretty happy with my R-12 (with the no flat tires) and will be looking for another very soon. :)
 
I have an R10 that I bought last year & I have come to HATE the tires. Who is selling the no-flats? Are they difficult to put on?
