Did a spot of tidying up in my workshop today, picked up all the holed inner tubes that I had dumped in various places till I got round to fixing them. Ended up with a pile of 16! As Im obviously too lazy to actually repair them lets have some suggestions for the use of 16 holed tubes.
Hang yourself with them for wasting the earths precious resources and for bein a lazy sod
give them to me - I'll fix 'em!
You could make a jacket for the high horse Junkyard appears to be riding.
I had a tidy out a while back and found over fifty, but at just over a quid a go I've got better things to waste my time on.
It is a high horse to suggest you fix punctures and Re use things ? Really?

Cool - where do you buy these from? I want some. Best offers I've found are normally around the '3 for a tenner' mark.
That is quite lazy.
Bike Bungee - See how far you can stretch them on yur bike!!

Very kind of you to offer TJ. If I dropped them off tonight could you have them fixed for me by the weekend? 😉

Prices have gone up a bit recently, but if you go into your LBS and say "give me a good price for 50 inner tubes" its surprising how cheap you can get em, plus as soon as you've got 50 inner tubes lying around you seem to stop having punctures anyway 😳

Just to put your mind at rest Junkyard I probably will at some point spend an evening fixing tubes, full marks for your extremist eco-warrior attitude though. 🙂
My mate sends his tubs off to be fixed - £12 each I think.

To suggest one hangs oneself as they have not reused something probably is.
I've got loads of schrader ones since I don't have any schrader wheels currently. Only a couple of extra prestas as I patch them til they're dead then I either use them for something else or bin them.

probably got a dozen or so. In a mammoth patching spree I also weighed them and wrote the weights on them near the valve 😳 or 8) depending on whether your a geek like me. Actually not a bad idea as they range from 100grm flyweights to 300grm double-thickness FR/DH stuff so its an easy way to reduce rotating/unsprung weight, or make sure dont get pinch flats on your big play bike.

😳 is correct.
I've got a load to do. I run the repaired ones so I know I've got good ones spare - if that makes sense.
Ha Ha I have just repaired 12 tubes today (after 4 flats in the last two rides)
The patches in the repair kit I bought from the pound shop are pretty good too.
I am afraid to count them... two quite large boxes though, the intent is there to have a big repair session some rainy afternoon when I've got nothing else to do - unfortunately they don't come around very regularly.
