Inner tube in side dahon 33.9x600mm

I am able to insert a 20x1.7 - 2.10 (smaller is easier ) inner tube in side my Dahon 33.9x600mm seat post.

I fold it in half, attach a velcro and loop at the air\stem. Roll the inner tube at the middle and secure with a Velcro strip. Using a long wooden stick (dowel 3/16 from homedepod ), I push it against the first strap up the tube. At the end I attach a string for pulling out. I have enough room to store a rubber cement tube, a short metal saw blade, and a few repair patches. I use a candle wax on the inner tube to make it slide up easier and I have to replace the plastic cap on the seat post.

A metal saw blade is a good use for scoring the inner tube instead of sand paper. Just break about 3 inches for this.

The inner tube rarely get used and need to be away from sunlight so this is a good place for this setup. I store the my hand pump and on the frame and levers under the seat.
