If one wants to buy such small patches in bulk, where can he find
them? I've got plenty of patches but they are all nickel sized or
better and the dimers would work better on skinny and very light
tubes.

Thanks.

(Long, tedious anecdote about Carlos P. Romulo responding to tall
Texan who bent down and asked him, "So: how does it feel to hang out
with the big boys?" "Like a dime among nickels.")

Then again .. just google ---  Rema 16mm patch 100 ----  and you'll get lots of links to lots of retailers. Ride-this being the least w/o shipping added.The are called F0 P patches..... as in eff zero p.

Thanks, Garth. I've never used the dime sized ones, only the next size
up -- didn't realize Rema came in the smaller size.

Patrick,

I special order the little Einstein patches from Rivendell in bags of 100.
Just call and ask and they can usually get em within a few days. Around $25
Originally they were the little blue Velox ones, but in the last batch they were orange and slightly larger. Still close to "dime size" though.

Thanks, Ryan. Will order -- wish I'd known since just paid $7 for
shipment 2 weeks ago.

In latest news: Herse being powdercoated and triple-ized (from 42/xx
to 46/42/xx) and I got a pair of ss lowriders adapted by D Porter to
fit the fork leg brazeons; may ditch the weird front rack and install
the lowriders. Dunno yet.

Am eagerly awaiting shipment (from Seattle) of this the attached. When
it comes will bug you about short stems (the tt is 58 and my preferred
is 56-57).

Hope to attend Citroen lunch; you? Have you heard from Cary?

I enjoyed the pic though. And the tip on bulk patches from Rivendell!
