ViperSquad Posted November 8, 2008 Share How do you do up the tube without cable ties? I need to know.Please? You need to wrap the ends of the tube under the tube that you are wrapping around. The tricky part is the end you are finishing at. A bit of practise and you will do it like a pro.TomTrek2008-11-08 04:49:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yang Posted November 8, 2008 Share Good link Edman- the description is exactly how I have done it on my 2 MTB's without cable ties. But the difference is that I don't slit the tube in half all the way around to have one sheet of rubber. I use the tube as is, so that it goes around the chain stay as a "double wrap".
