So it is with this understanding of how wording is phrased that leads me to continue looking for specific and definitive - concrete evidence - that today's 'rubber' inner-tubes are actually MADE IN AMERICA - As in the old days, when AKRON, OHIO meant GoodYear Rubber, etc.

There is of course the MADE IN AMERICA label that has fine print indicating that the material was from XYZ & EBM, with components from EYC, assembled in ERT - all under the umbrella of 'Corporate Offices' in the USA.

"Based in", and "manufacturer" leaves room for some strong doubt as to exactly WHERE the inner-tubes are actually made. So I still wonder where the manufacturing plant is located that makes Bratton's/Snyder's inner-tubes.
true with most things labeled "made in the usa". FYI Springfield armory pistols are made in the Philippines....some of the best pistols out there.

anyways speaking of innertubes: I have 5 20" AA truck ones with the 90*bent brass valve stem - is there anyway to straighten them back out to a 45* or put another S bend in them to straighten them up?
