    What size bicycle tire tube do you use to secure bk-up lights, etc. to harness?

    Dimensions escape me. I specifically asked for a tube for a Mountain Bike-type tire, and it fit perfectly for securing stuff, and for protecting all webbing-to-plate contact.
    Wish I could offer more help...

    Yeah, swing by a bike shop and ask for a blown out Mountain bike tube, I get mine for free and they work great.

    Ken, do you have any problems with the harness loosening up without the keepers on it?
    I am asking becauese I have to replace my webbing due to sharp slots on the b/p and was thinking of going with the inner tube on the webbing, but need to know if it causes you to have to readjust occasionally.
    Thanks
    Robert

    Thumbs up Mountain Bike or BMX...

    ...innertubes that are 2" or so in measurement. Rick, don't throw away the '10 speed' inner tube! That's the perfect size to cover the wire-ties that hold the corrugated inflator hose to the elbow or power inflator. It can be a PITA to drag it the whole way from the power inflator up to the elbow, but it helps!
