Sorry to be argumentative Steve, but there are inner tubes, and there are inner tubes.

 

A tractor inner tube is made of some seriously thick rubber and would be perfect for the job, but a push bike tube would of course be rubbish.

 

I don't have a tractor tube anymore, but do have a couple of farmyard hand squeegee blades around which I am slowly chopping up for the purpose. Bit like mudflap rubber but just a bit softer.

I was making an assumption the bloke probably had inner tube off a bicycle as most cars don't have them now, guess it could be off a motorbike. I was just answering the question as to why ADW didn't like the use of inner tubes and the most logical answer was the thickness. It would work for casual use but utter rubbish for everyday use.

 

Not seen a tractor inner tube!

 

My wife, on the other hand, is still looking for her right wellie:sneaky2::blushing::lol:

I have however seen very many as I used to repair punctures and fit tyres to Ag tractors and combines. Now thats real man's work.:001_smile:

 

Must admit I could not do it now though, its a young mans job.
