Helium

[Robert]

I know I'll get taken apart for this, but here goes....


can you put helium in the front tires to make the front end lighter?

oh boy

Wow ive never thought of that one. I don't think that helium would make the front end lighter, I think the front end would want to come up on every bump you hit though If you try it tell me how it turns out.

hey that is a good question try it and let us know. but if its a banshee dont we already have a hard enough time keepin the front end down?

Wow someones hitting the helium pipe LOL!!!Aluminum rims with a 2 ply race tire should do the trick!!!

I have heard of people doing this not sure how much weight it saves but I have heard of racers doing this before. Now how much weight does it shave for the cost of helium and having to fill your tires. My guess is it would be worth trying and seeing how much weight you save and how long they stay filled. Let us know if anyone trys this.

o man you have to try that and take some pictures

[dale grible]

i dont think it's the air that make the weight of the tire...but the air pressure(PSI) in the tire...my guess is , you would still have the same air pressure, so the same weight....THIS IS ONLY A GUESS....I DONT KNOW SCAT ABOUT PHYSICS.

Well helium is combustable, so if its under pressure in your tire, and somehow a spark or high heat gets to it? kabooooom. so i wouldn't recommend using helium,

Just dont ride on pavement lol. I'm pretty sure that helium would make your tires lighter if you used the same AIR psi as you used Helium PSI. SO if you have 45 PSI compressed air and 45 PSI Helium... the Helium is going to be lighter. Look at it like a ballon. Ballons filled with helium float because the helium inside them is lighter than the air outside them. Therefor your tires would be lighter and more prone to floating depending on how many PSIs you put in them.

i'd say it will do nothing. being that you ahve to figure how much wieght helium actually affects. it will absolutly nothing. oh yeah whaty the hell is 45psi in??? car tires only use 35psi and quad tires use between 3-6 psi.
