@jimmuller - I can relate! Whose tubes were those?

I just took delivery of 9 replacement tubes. 4 Continentals and 5 Vittoria's. I have not tried the later. In addition, 4 kits of the REMA patches so I too can have tubes with multiple patches!

BTW: I stated that I used super glue on a valve stem/tube interface. It worked well enough to last overnight and get me to work. By the time the work day was over, so was the tube. I used my last good tube to get home where the above stash had been delivered, whew.

I think I like the veloplugs. With all this tire/tube activity, I am much more willing to try them out. The new larger ones have yet to arrive.

Speaking of Tubulars, I am about to try them as a daily commuter tire. Need to do some prep work first.
