[#3604831]

Picked up a couple of cheap tubes from Asda today to convert to ghetto toobless.

iirc £1.60 or there abouts per tube. And the cores are removeable. Done with a 7 quid tub of latex too. Prob used about a 1/5 of the tub so I make that a little over £3 a wheel.

Only done the front so far. On an old F519 and nearly as old Conti vertical pro. Seams to be holding even with a baggy bead. Test ride tomorrow.

Marky - are they removable core prestas?

Where did you get a £7 latex?

Good luck tomorrow. If you dont survive - can I have your.....

Sorry CSW, schrader only.

Latex was from a local Canterbury art store. They have an internet shop. Chromos. the prices are cheaper online but they charge pnp.

As for if I survive, you'll have to fight my bro for my ride 🙂

Well that was a success in my books.

Rear is currently drying in the kitchen ready for the same treatment. I think it'll go better this time due to starting with a clean tyre 😀
