I used an old fiver. Worked fine, and still legal tender when I was done
Plebs.

I use a £50 note, unless I've got my cheque book when I write one out for £5,000 and use that.
 
$20 for me. Worth about a quid.

<sigh> "$" without qualification means US dollar, unless you happen to be in a country where the currency is a dollar.

If you’re American and think you did everything first, yes.

Don’t think the Mexicans would agree though.

I'm Australian. I refer to the aussie dollar as $A1 unless I am in Australia.
Fair enough. I was just making the point that the “Spanish Dollar”, or Peso, was the first currency to use the dollar sign before the US adopted it.

20 or so countries use the sign now, so you have a fair point. :smile:

Everyone's talking as though a tyre boot is used regularly. In over 50 years of riding, I have never needed one. Buying decent tyres seems to be the answer.

I've needed a tyre boot twice. Once when a faulty tyre failed, the beading parted company with the side wall, and once when I hit debris and split the side wall.
