Although I donā€™t see why not, would make sense to run dual compound.

The white is a UHMW spacer to allow the tire halves to flex like a radial tire

Kinda looks like a 2-Part sandwich but it could be solid and thatā€™s the mold part line

oh I see the spherical bearing could be inserted from below.

I was talking about the bushing on the 3-Link trucks but wheel dissection is good too

If youā€™re 6" and above the market is crowded. Iā€™m always looking for smaller pneumatics in the 120-130mm range for urban use. It would keep the comfort and obstacle handling but regain some of the torque and range lost with 6" and above. Just my 2 cents, donā€™t know if thatā€™s even possible!

When used as a powered wheel, do the Gummies have a mechanical lock to the wheel?

Iā€™ve got some here. Itā€™s friction.

Kevin, can you post some pictures of the interface? I would be concerned with the power we have as well as brakes, there is a chance to slip in the hub. Although pneumatics rely only on friction also. So is the tire undersized in diameter and oversized in width?
