Default Re: Leaky Tire

Shew, to answer your original question, there is no reason that you can't reuse the old tube. Just blow it up and make sure there's no holes in it. I usually dunk it in a washtub and watch for the bubbles. When I put it all together I put Murphy's Oil Soap on the tire and the rim. It makes it slippery and washes off easily. Also, I don't use tire irons. I've made tools out of hardwood. They're much gentler on tubes. Good luck.
