I had a steady stream of filed innertubes on my wire-wheeled Bs until about
two years ago. I had been using those "one-size-fits-all" tubes commonly
available in most tire stores - presuming they were all that's available.
Well you can get real Brit-made 165-14 tubes - they're about double the
rubber thickness of the junk in the stores, and they FIT. No unseen
wrinles/creases that inevitably fail - especially on interstates.
' Haven't had a flat since I switched. ' Guess I better knock on rubber!
