: Brilliant! How are the tube sections attached to the clamps? And, my similar
: clamps have hard rubber swivel heads which can be forced off (usually by
: accident). Did/do those clamps have swivel heads in place?

I just slip them over the ends. Might be good to secure them with cable ties, as they tend to slip off. I leave the square ends on the cheapo clamps. With Pony clamps, they don't seem to slip any more than with the nylon jobs. You develop a feel for it after a few tries, and they do work a treat. Probably the skinnier the bike tube, the better. I used what I had, which was BMX tubes.
