Hi M.,
Has the era come to a close? I still use corks on my beach cruiser; nobody wants to steal 'em. If they need to last a while sitting in the sun, get the really good, plastic Gallo brand ones (not Galli). Lasts twice as long as real cork, & you can dye 'em in Rit dye to match the frame color....
