What Gauge Stainless Steel Wire?

[Daddy4zack]

What gauge SS wire is used to sew up tires? I am ditching my spare tire and going with tubes and wire. I can get the wire from work so i need the ga. size. Where to buy the J hook or needle?? ( i can get big needles also) What else is needed??? Mark I need 35" Tubes!!

Thanks

Let me go through my emails (I know we talked about this before) and find out. Still need the wire bud.

I have no tubes My maker went belly up, and I was having a hard time finding a new one. All though, I have not looked again in 2-3 months. I figure I'll start up again at the new year.

For Wire, I use a very sharp pick, and .035 mig wire.

Another Aaron (Danger) uses curved upholstery needles, seem to work fine. I'll find a source

OK Fill me in, WHAT? Are you talking about doing?? I am a total newb now. Stainless wire to sew what with a tube and tire? WHAT????

Ya I have never herd of that either, But then nothing new I never know much.

not going to carry a spare tire anymore.. If I get a flat now I will use a tube to get off the trail. If I get a sidewall gash or cut I will use a tube and sew up the sidewall with SS wire.

Are they going to only be for a 35?
If so, Wal-Mart sells cheap tubes that fit 33's. You can strech them into a 35.
They are dirt cheap and you can tell that.............. super thin. Get 2.

Mark, clue us in on the specs for the good ones (thickness) I need more

[Daddy4zack]

Broncrick we need updates...I got the SS wire.. Just need tubes and a J Hook..

Aaron, kind of spaced this out (not on my to-do list at home) lately. Grab me some wire while your at it, and I'll source the needles and tubes
