| I would look in the back of some of the more popular rags for
adds.
I am pretty sure there is an outfit that advertises regularly in
Bicycle USA. I just got mine over the weekend so I'll try and remember
to check it out tonight.

| 3192.2 | Quality should have 'em | WRKSYS::FRANTZ | Dr. Awkward | Mon Mar 24 1997 13:41 | 6 |
| Talk to your shop - if I recall correctly, Quality (parts wholesaler
that many shops deal with) carries Ream patches in bulk. You can also
get just tubes of glue. The shop I go to let me look through the
'customer' catalog (no prices) to see what was available.

| Folks need that many patches because:
A. It's always prudent to follow the preventative maintenance procedures
for flat avoidance by pre-patching your tubes in strategic locations in
the event of future flats.
B. When applying patches, you should apply another patch opposite the
one you are applying originally to keep the wheel balanced.
C. By adding several patches to your tubes you can increase the
rotational mass of your wheels which is good for training rides. Make
sure you switch back to your unpatched tubes for racing. You might
also wish to switch to the lower density summer air at the same time.
D. They are budding BMTs and always want to be seen as the helpful one
when on group rides.

| 3192.11 | patch levels | PCBUOA::KRATZ | | Thu Mar 27 1997 13:29 | 5 |
| OK... perhaps creating the trail thru the rasberry patch at the
bottom of the backyard wasn't one of my more stellar ideas.
BUt there's never been more than TWO levels of patches!
