Rubber pasta in dollar store patch kit; and missing rim tape
I have a couple patch kits from a dollar store, and they include
something that looks very much like macaroni, but is made of rubber (probably thick latex). There's two in each kit, they're exactly the color, shape (except not bent into an elbow), diameter (inside and out), and length of the uncooked macaroni in a box of Kraft macaroni & cheese. What are these? For spreading cement without using dirty fingers? In partly unrelated news, where did I put that fscking roll of Velox rim tape? I had it sitting around to install on my rear rim during the next time I removed the tire...I better check the desk drawer... -- Rick Onanian |

That is a replacement valve rubber for a Woods valve. : http://www.yellowjersey.org/nuvalve.html Air can go in under that tube but can't escape back. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

The best way to find the rim tape is to buy more. Marcus |

It's in the garage behind the 36-year-old Pachinko machine you've been storing for absolutely no good reason. Bill "HTH" S. |

& cheese. What are these? For spreading cement without using dirty
fingers? Emergency food for while you're out... gnawing on it releases critical potassium and complex carbohydrates to encourage smooth muscle function and fuel. Oh, and, they offer it in a low-carb form too... What's with all these "low-carb beers?!?!" -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |
