Yes I have. As a poor starving man in school with no money but lots of time I tried it. It took a long long time and I out a lot of small holes in my hand. Only to some how got the tire twisted so it was not ride able. Have fun. Steven Willis 1778 East Second Street Scotch Plains NJ 07076 908-322-9022 http://www.thebikestand.com
