I'm getting ready to put some new feet on Betsy, and here's my question. I have tube type rims both front and back, and they both have inner tubes installed. I just picked up a 16 penny nail in my back tire, and have already aquired a new tube for that one. There's nothing wrong with the front other than the Chicken Skin that's there. Should I go ahead and reuse the inner tube in the front, or would it be prudent to put a new one there too?

I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

I've re-used tubes before and had no problem. Just be careful not to pinch it when dismounting old tire. If a new one is available and convienent, by all means replace it. Have fun with the rim locks.

Thanks Phil. I've been having fun with that rear tire all morning - all of a sudden $35 doesn't seem so bad for a mount and balance.

After a good nights sleep I started feeling spunky again, and once more attacked the rear tire. Concerning the rim locks, when removing the tire should they be unscrewed completely, or is loosening the bolts good enough? Also, does anybody have a picture of what these puppies look like so I know what's going on inside the tire?I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
