All this tire (tyre) saver talk -- now I need a pair if someone's got them lying around. My LBS doesn't have them. Pls email me offlist to arrange. They're going to be used, not looked at.

Some kind person on the list relayed a tip for replacing the worn metal thingy: use an old spoke. I've had good luck shaping things like that around a socket or pipe of the right size clamped in a vise, and using a hand sledge or ballpeen hammer. Or I use the poor man's anvil (piece of RR rail).
