Pneumatic, semi-pneumatic or flat-free

  • Pneumatic: the softest ride over curbs, gravel and stair edges, but it can go flat.
  • Flat-free foam or solid rubber: cannot puncture. Solid rubber carries more, foam rides softer.
  • Semi-pneumatic: a hollow rubber tire with no air, a middle ground for indoor and dock use.

To replace a wheel, match the diameter, the axle size and the hub length of the old one.
