I have allways loved the ride and feel of TUBS or sew ups, BUT as age has taken its toll on the Old Brit fixing em is now a chore, I cant even find the needle never mind about threading it! but _tirealert@tirealert.com_ (mailto:tirealert@tirealert.com) , will replace the tube in sew ups for $20.00 two for $16.00 each, I know this is not cheap and probaly only the choice for thoes hard to find and flat vintage tubs. I was reading a Cycling the other day and came across the following article. " There may emerge some light alloy susceptible to a hardening process, permitting the use of lighter hubs and pedals, Unsightly cables may once more vanish from sight, but without becoming completely inaccessible. Handlebars may be tapered, economizing weight and imparting a slight amount of resilience.Possibly some light alloy may be available for chains.(goes on) somebody may have solved the bendless spoke problem, and in this latter connecton is involved the design of a speed tyre(tire) constructed of some nylon-type foundation covered with a superior synthetic-rubber tread and moulded round a skeleton rim (non-detachable,of course) readily connected by renewable skopes to the hub!.
