Trying to make sense of the place, I found a group of three in a wagon, another three on my shelf with my other bike parts, and two more hanging over a garage whatever. These are loose tubes. If they have holes, why didn't I trash them? Or have them in a specific place to patch? If they're still good, why did I remove them? I also have another 5 in boxes on the part shelves. But why? Also, I know I have at least 2, maybe three, more in camelbacks. I don't understand. These are not part of what I'd consider the compulsory purchase joy products of my bike world. I'd waste money meaninglessly on different things. Where do they come from? Post Extras: Allan journeyman Reged: 05/04/04 Posts: 198 Loc: Bds,W I Re: Where do tubes come from? [Re: Nev] #2942 - 05/15/04 02:56 AM (66.205.8.130) Edit Reply Quote Hey Nev, This time of year is perfect for the breeding season of tubes, and they usually prefer the sanctuary of garagus familioso. With all this proliferation going on, i hope you manage to breed a healthy crop of the ultra lite version. -------------------- Its time to ride.

[Re: Nev] #2947 - 05/15/04 05:05 PM (4.12.238.224) Edit Reply Quote Do they start as tubes, and grow into the boxes? Or are the boxes like tube eggs they eventually hatch out of? Which comes first? It's perplexing. Post Extras: Dave_Thompson prophet Reged: 12/19/03 Posts: 717 Loc: Spokane, Washington You have it right... [Re: Nev] #2948 - 05/15/04 05:31 PM (24.17.236.162) Edit Reply Quote .. the boxes are the eggs of the tube species. The tubes hatch from the boxes. Very convenient storage by the way at the tube hatcheries. However most tube eggs are shipped to LBSs before they hatch. -------------------- Steel lover, but then I like Ti with carbon too.
