Finally riding a big boys bike
You're right of course...I think he's trying to save a 40 year-old? tube. But that's the spirit here...we take on the rustiest bent remnants of a classic bike and try to restore it. So, it's not so different trying to save an old tube? And I mentioned the sleeve hack because I have done it successfully to save an old style valve.any tube that stretches out in one spot like that was bad anyway. I recently got about 25 old tubes and I put air in a bunch of them to see if the held air overnight. none of them stretched in one spot like that.
