Some questions about the use of baby powder on tubes rather than tushes. Who uses baby powder on their tubes? Does it do any good? How do you pack it in your tool kit when traveling? -- Kevin Powers White Bear Lake, MN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Kevin, I use real tire talc when I do a tire and tube. On the road it stores well in a 35mm film cannister.

Baby powder usually contains Cornstarch. If you ride in the rain or cross a creek, wet cornstarch becomes a nasty goo. You may also want to do some Googling about Talc. http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/CancerCauses/OtherCarcinogens/AtHome/talcum-powder-and-cancer I don t use either and get along just fine. One less thing to worry about.

when baby powder gets wet: take along a box of "GREEN JELLO" then when it gets wet it and drys, ...it will work like ....slime. (and if stranded, you can still eat.) Seriously, Thanks Fred, I've been using powders ( & carrying in tool kit) I forgot about them getting GOOEY it will be taken out of the tool kit, today. AGAIN, Fred works better then "asprin" for avoiding or getting rid of "head aches".
