Posts: 302 | Neca cycle rear wheel help?
on Friday, March, 11, 2011 4:46 PM
It seems like the rear wheels on the Neca lightcycles are rubber, and they get hard and brittle over time.
Has anyone figured out a way to preserve them, so the wheel doesn't decompose or whatever you would call that condition? Thanks.

I'd say the best thing would be to keep them in a room that doesn't get too hot, and out of direct sunlight.

Thanks Trench. I got a used one on Fleabay the other day (the price was right). The back wheel has started to kindof 'harden'. I'm wondering if using something like ArmorAll or something like that on the wheel to keep it from dry rotting would help it? It doesn't look bad...but I can tell the difference in the condition of the rubber as compared to a new Neca Lightcycle I have. Just don't want it to start cracking or anything.

The rear wheels on my NECA cycles are all ok, I bought them all new when they were originally released and the rubber on them was hard to begin with, excess prolonged heat will probably make them harder and brittle - not really a problem here in cloudy England 
The 1981 TOMY cycle I have has a pretty good condition rear wheel and doesn't feel as though it's going to fall apart, just two minor nicks in it as well as scrapes all over the cycle (some kid must've played with it a lot).order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Thanks guys. I'll probably just leave it alone. I got it a few days ago, and it's the first yellow Neca that looked halfway decent I've seen on Fleabay in the past couple/few weeks (in my price range). I knew it was not new going into the auction, and I still feel the price was fair. The wheel isn't an eyesore, so I'll probably just ignore it and keep it out of sunlight and away from heat.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Agreed, plastics get "addicted" to the solvents in Armor All, if you stop using it, once they outgas the plastic basically dries out and falls apart.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill
