I've just ordered one of these as they have a few nice extras over the standard version!
But was wondering if you guys had made any more mods to improve the life/durability of the barrow?
I've heard the tyres aren't the best and was thinking tyre weld/slime for the time being???

Changing from a carpporter mk2 and hoping I don't regret it

You need to get a tyre vale remover,let the air out take out the valve and add the slime,screw the valve back in and inflate the tyre and rotate it so the slime coats the whole of the inside

sounds like the same thing we do with our mountain bike tyres to use them tubeless so should be easy enough!

Thanks

I did mine as soon as I got it on your advice and its been fine. Interesting in the old post when people were slagging off the tyres and someone did a check and they are exactly the same as Prestige use on the Porterlite
