Wanted: Inner tubes with punctures

Wanted Inner tubes with punctures

Hackney Bikeworkshop plans to hold a ‘Fix a Puncture in a Minute’ contest with contestants removing a wheel from a bike removing the inner tube and repairing the puncture and putting it back in under a minute – well it is good to have something to aim for! And it will be a laugh contestants will pay £5 each and the prize will be a pair of Continental Gator Skin tyres or something similar dependant on the response from prospective contestants.

The only problem with this plan? Punctured inner tubes! We have a few but if anyone has a stash or even one or two that they cannot bear to throw away but would give to a worthy course we need them.

You can donate your inner tubes either at one of our workshops details at http://hackneybikeworkshop.com/ or by contacting us at hackneybikeworkshop(at)gmail.com

If you don’t have any punctured inner tubes but would like to be a contestant please e-mail us at the same address

All the best

I could drop them off one evening...

Zebs - have you done this yet?

No I sort of lost impetus when no one offered to help I get a bit fed up being left to organise events by myself so thought I would file that one away for a later date

Hmm a worthy cause methinks, and a load of punctured tubes that I dreamed of fixing........I may just PM the Mighty Mouse...

did this happen? still interested doing the competition?

Still got the punctured tubes here too!

Sorry for the thread hijack, but I guess the above event has passed...

I re-use these by cutting them into strips and tying up plants in my garden.

Any going for a this worthy cause? Willing to cycle round london a bit...

Cheers - Olly

Micycle in islington have a whole bucket full in their yard. all free.

I can probably donate some......depends on a drop off point as where I live is horses fields & the locals have straw behind their ears
