I love taking my kids for rides on their Adams’ tandem tag along behind my Big Dummy. I bought the tag along used on Craigslist almost 3 years ago. I haven’t replaced any components on it, aside from adding a couple bells to the handlebars that they lovingly ring as we cruise along. I was concerned about the rear tire potentially blowing out (being old/never replaced) and starting to crack, so I replaced the tire with a Primo Kevlar Comet up at Calhoun Cycle. This tire has a built-in reflector on the sidewalls, so when we’re heading back in the evening from fireworks or something, it should be a little safer.

After installed the new tube and tire, I inflated the new tire and I noticed that it could handle up to 100 psi, whereas the OEM tire could only handle 45 psi. I searched the rim for markings on what it is rated for, but found nothing, so I went to the web. The silver rim that is stock on this trail a bike is a KinLin (or Kin Lin) 20-inch x 1.5-inch 36 Hole 406 ISO. I couldn’t find much on the web about this wheel, so I talked to bikeusa on eBay who was selling a similar rim. Bikeusa believes this rim can handle anywhere from 30-95 psi. Right now, I have it pumped to 70 psi and everything seems fine. I’ll try taking it a little higher and report back later. I’ll attach some pics of the new tire some other time, but here are a couple pics of the Big Dummy reincarnated as the Tow Truck.
