Anyone got any tips for using a new but badly punctured ( 1/2" hole )inner tube. Mine punctured on the way home from the rally. Seems a shame to bin it.

Cut up for strong elastic bands?

In my younger days cut a length off with vale in it, tie one end round a cable add a little oil, tie tuther end off, you have a cable oiler.

ps you need to put a little pressure in it.

Any classic bike the is over loaded with excess weight over the rear wheel. IE carrying loads that make the bike unstable and excreting more weight than listed in the original owners handbook will no longer be covered for a rear wheel deflation .

I made a nice battery retaining strap for my Matchless using the original metal parts from the old perished strap. However, that was made from a bicycle innertube - probably 1.25" using double thickness. Cheers. Bruce.

Do classic bike owners handbooks generally specify a maximum load weight? Don't they normally just show the weight of the bike? Cheers. Bruce.

Use elastic bands on tent/pegs. Carry a few in toolbox for make shift, stand / kick starter spring, extend or make bungee strap. Tool roll. Large piece with slits to hold tools, roll up and secure with bands to fit tool box. When I still worked ( in the wood working trade ) I used the valves in the top of a squeegee washing up liquid container. For white wood glue. Remove the actual valve. Insert the valve secured on the outside with nut or ferrule, cap to seal when not in use.

"excreting more weight"

Whow - nthat could be interesting if you are riding behind the motorcycle on a run!

What about the comparative weights of the rider (said the athletic 12 1/4 stone chap)

That'll teach me to be flippant, just nipped a brand new tube putting a tyre on At least it's a comp bike so I can cut a band out of it to fix the back of the tank.

Take the tent etc off the bike before calling recovery, sorted!
