Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

We have 6 brand new 8 inch Pneumatic Wheel (am-0970) for sale. We realized we did not need them and due to them being sold out on AndyMark we are trying to sell them to another team.
They are $50 each ($300 Total) OBO. Shipping will be added based on where we are sending them.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

So, you're selling them for $13 more than AndyMark sells them?

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

We may consider taking you up on this. Can I talk to my mentors and get back to you in the morning?

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Team 4404 is interested in them. Please Private Message me or email me at j.gunasingham@gmail.com to make arrangements if the other team is not interested in them. Thanks!

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Are they still available? please PM me. Thanks

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Supply and demand right? :yikes:

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Teams gotta fundraise somehow. :rolleyes:

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Maybe that is to cover shipping possibly.

I knew someone else was going to realize this:

I was sitting on 4 of these wheels I got from MicroCenter for 1/4 the original price as they were clearance.
Was going to start the bidding on eBay at the current price.

I mean I did have some costs in getting the wheels from MicroCenter and storage costs for holding on to them.

Thing is someone needed them so I decided to give them up before I got this far in.

I am also a little surprised that no one has opensourced an STL for a suitable hub to be 3D printed for the tires and tubes which can be gotten more easily.

With this crowd and the rush for pneumatic wheels, I bet he could find a taker for twice that amount.:ahh:

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

I got the mentors to approve on buying the wheels from you. PM me with the details please.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

I recommend teams looking for pneumatic wheels to check out skyway They have various sizes for pneumatic wheels and not all of it is listed on their website.

Gracious Capitalism

I just wanna drop this in the bucket to maybe inspire students. There are many ways to skin a cat in engineering. Sometimes we become too tunnel visioned when we can't get something.

Andymark doesn't have the TIRES and TUBES. but you know what, that is a pretty common size you can just about get anywhere else.

Andymark has the HUB instock, that is the best part. Purchase the hubs you need then maybe look somewhere else for the tire and tube. It's a metric size of 200 x 50 is the tire you are looking for. In some cases, they even sell FOAM FILLED tires. Here is a link to eBay with numerous choices.

You can atleast buy some eBay tires to test your proto-typing to buy you some "time" if you really want the kewl Andymark brand.

Happy shopping and sourcing...


EDIT...well YESTERDAY Andymark had hubs in stock...not today...LOL... Oh well....I tried.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

The hub is also currently out of stock: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0971.htm

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Yeah I just checked. I bought 8 yesterday, so I thought they still had them in stock.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Gotcha. However, to everyone else reading the thread, they still do have the 6" hub in stock: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2469.htm

The tire and tube for this sized wheel can be purchased from McMaster-Carr: http://www.mcmaster.com/#2717t55/=10mwsgw, as well as a variety of other sources.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Do you have recommendations on how to integrate these into the KOP?

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

They'll custom make hubs and they can also put keyed hubs into the wheel or bearings.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

I put in an order for 8 yesterday at 12:30pm, yet to get shipping..does not bode well.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

Only in large volume orders according to the disclaimer on the bottom of the page.

Re: Selling 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels
 

The 10" Pneumatic and the 12.5" Pneumatic comes with a 3/16" keyway so that should be pretty easy to adapt with andymark hub or sprocket.

I'm willing to bet that the 8" and 6" versions with the 5/16" bearings can be easily adapted with a hub from andy mark or one of their wheel mounting kits + sprocket

According to their order form Prices are very good too..$25 for the 10" or 12.5" and $18 for the 8" or 6".
