I've read about using newspaper. Does that actually work (if I could find any)? What about using the old tube somehow, how do you get it to stay in place? (The thought just struck me of using the glue in the repair kit, to make a strip cut from an old tube into a continuous band.) You'll find that patch cement is pretty worthless for sticking tube material to tube material, even if you scuff it. It's one of life's mysteries. Just cut the elastic band out of your underwear and fix that wheel like a man! By God, your right! I just checked the size on the label in my Jockeys and it said "700c". Time to lay off the gu! Hmmm..., my underwear elastic length matches pretty well with a little stretching with the front rim diameter on my bicycle: http://www.flickr.com/photos/19704682@N08/1939602865/. -- Tom, Perhaps circumference? Or do you make the early Calista Flockhart look like Chalo? The two are a fixed ratio of each other of course, but rims and tires are sized by diameter, not circumference. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |
