My days in a tube.

[PREDATOR]

I thought I would sahre a few of the small things that I loved from my years in a tube. Probably my favorite little find was a valve remover. I needed to be able to deflate my tube after each trip due to lack of storage. It was a pain to sit there holding the pin in while all that air escaped. But they make a little remover that unscrews the stem inside and allows the air to rush out without your help. Then you replace the valve and the remover screws on to the stem and becomes the cap. No big revelation, but I wish someone had told me about it long before I discovered its usefulness. Velcro straps can be rigged in a million different ways to allow a guy to use a fish finder. If you deflate the rear back support bag, you can fit a small battery in the bag behind you where it is out of the way, when you reinflate the back, you wont even know its there.
