Thomas, you have broken the code of silence. If any OBRA wives ever get
wind of this, you're a dead man.

I found if you randomly hang old tubes in your garage, like cob webs,
and always make sure that your garage never has enough light. Your wife
will to afraid to go in the garage and not notice that you just dropped
a BOB trailer full of cash on a new road bike.
You know that cash! The "tiny" year end bonus that you may have
forgotten to tell her about. You remember the extra money she needed to
replace the tattered carpets in JR's bedroom, after he burned a whole in
the floor with the Chemistry set you just "Had to buy him" last year for
Christmas? You know "THAT" cash.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Tubes!
With all these hot deals on used tubes I thought I'd offer some ideas on
what they can be used for once they have lost their pneumatic
containment capabilities.
Things I've used old tubes for:
Cut them into rubber bands to hold electronic parts during assembly.
Used them in strips to wrap and protect parts of my MTB from chain
gouging.
Wrapped the handle of my snow saw for better grip in cold and icey
conditions. Works for great for any hand tool.
Used them as shock cords to secure flexible hydraulic lines on heavy
equipment.
Used a short section as a sheath for the tool sharpening file I carry
when doing trial work so my pack doesn't get torn up.
For covering sections of locks or chains to keep them from damaging
paintwork.
Cut them into loops to secure the floppy strap ends on my packs.
Criss-crossed over BOB trailer hitches to dampen the trailer from
bouncing excessively.
To squeeze parts together for gluing during woodworking.
Screwed to the garage wall for a handy loop to keep door from blowing
closed.
So, don't just let them sit around. Use your imagination and put them
to work for another purpose!
Rick
PS- And still I have plenty available so no thanks in advance to all you
would-be donors.

I have a case of pre-punctured 700x23 Presta tubes. 24 tubes to the
case.
I will sell for $2.00/tube, or $40.00/case.
If these do not go by end of day on Wed, they go out to eBay!
Sorry, local pickup only.

I have a patchkit, the glue's dried up but there's some sandpaper
and
two small 1" diameter patches that are still good. $1.49 takes it,
shipping from Bend should be $3.85 Priority Mail. Buy James' tube,
Lisa's air, some of those valve caps and nuts and I think you'd be
safe
for a ride. OH! And I have an underseat bag with a hole in it that
I'll
throw in for nothing.
