Last year during a German Muelheim event, somebody from France showed how
he made grip tires by cutting bicycle tires. The racing bike tires are
very small and fit perfect. I'm sure a bike repair shop would be happy to
give you some used inner tires.

Jan-Albert (*), when you say "inner tyre" do you mean the tube? (bike
tyres have a tube, that is a rubber doughnut with a valve, containing
compressed air). I ask it because racing bikes mostly use tubular
(tubeless) tyres, which are a kind of stronger tube that also works as
tyre.

Yes the tube. My bike still has inner/outer tire so I assumed most still do.

(*) if I remember correctly, you're nicknamed "Jab", aren't you?

I have many and that's one of them, although rarely used :D

(...) FYI, in American English the term is "inner tube" and "tire". "outer" would be redundant. --Bill. (21 years ago, 22-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
