bigshot replace tubing, source

[ckliff]

anyone have good source for rubber tubing?

Cliff I found the best replacement is your hand. The same goes for women again the best replacement is your hand. Try throwing the dang thing. Use 10 oz bag for best results. You may find this offensive but once you mastered it you will thank me. Use that big shot for what it looks like a crutch for if and when you injure your leg.

If you really need it sherrel sellls replacement tubing for it I believe.

Sherrill. It's a very inexpensive item, about $15 and it's both tubes with the pouch attached. Includes instructions for replacement.

How do you do replace it?
I'm afraid to open the package on the job and then need special tools to switch it.
I assume you cut the old one off, ask your wife for KY, and slip the new tubes on.

 

[skwerl]

After you cut the old one off, sand off any burrs. (I found that I burred the frame cutting off the old tube with a razor knife, it's some tough stuff.)
Get a small cup of water and add 2-3 drops of dish soap. It takes very little. Wet the frame and the inside of the tubing. Slip the tubing on and MAKE SURE YOU'VE LINED IT UP CORRECTLY. You get one shot at getting it right. When sliding the second tube on, make sure the basket isn't twisted and push it on to where the basket is even. Then let it dry overnight.

Can't you just spitt on it? Always worked for me. There isnt a guy in here who hadn't tried accept for maybe husky but he's still young. Just kidding Steve!

Glad to see your back, I guess.

 

[BigJohn]

Good to see your still here too Steve. I was looking forward to seeing you in Florida with murph. I haven't lost my style or sense of humor.

 

[Husky288XP]

Did you guys go, or was Murph just thinking about it?

Plus, where have you been?

 

[BigJohn]

He told me every day we were gonna go. I called work and said I wasnt coming back I was going to Florida. I never did go back and ever week I heard we are leaving next week and next week. We never went anywhere.

I had to find a new job. Maybe next year there will be some big whoppers to bring lot of destructions, we can only pray?

Plain water works fine. Rubbing alchohol works better - it's more slippery and dries faster.
