Easier Tyre Fitting
When fitting a tyre tube on to a wheel it is sometimes hard to get the valve through the hole in the rim of the wheel, and even harder to prevent the valve from slipping back through the hole just as the last section of the tyre is being forced back on to the rim. the Petroleum Information Bureau (Australia) says.
Both these problems can be overcome by soldering an inch or two of copper tube on to the top of a spare valve cap. Screwed in to the valve, the copper extension can easily be guided through the rim hole, and is too long to slip back again.
