ebinmaine 78,218 #3 Posted 3 hours ago Can't say for sure but those look quite a lot like bicycle tire tube installation tools I've seen in the past 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 11,803 #4 Posted 2 hours ago Paul - do yourself a favor to avoid frustration. Inflate the tubes to about 5 PSI a few days before you plan to install them. I lay each on a hard flat surface, put either a stout pice of cardboard or plywood on top. And a brick on top of that... Take a tape measure to get a dimension from the top of the board to the hard surface below. Let it sit 2 days and remeasure. Verify they hold air.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is an excellent idea...mind the say every tube is "filled with air by the manufacturer for 48 hours test to ensure good air tightness" yeah right... New tubes that don't hold air...electronic parts that don't work out of box Edited 23 minutes ago by pfrederi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
