I can bring some more in but with a sudden increase in the US shipping cost they will now be £14.00 + £2.25 postage if anyone is interested please let me know

Hi Kitped, you may remember that I asked for one from you on the original posting about the tubes, so please put me down for one, as per previous request.

Small note to add to the fitment of the tool tube - always remember to check your angle-of-dangle at least twice!

I'll explain - yesterday, when taking in the view from some forest roads, I encountered a slightly deeper than normal hole in the track. Nothing overly huge, but a bit bigger than the others I'd ridden through that afternoon. Anyway, this pothole produced a rather worry "crack" noise as we hit the bottom of the hole. I pulled over to see what was hanging off / broken, and found none of those things. What I did find was what I refer to as a witness mark on the alloy chain guard .
Yep, you guessed it - the plate the tool tube was mounted on was approx 2mm too far inboard, and when the rear shocker compressed a bit more than normal as I went through the pot hole, the two bits of metal came into contact with one another.
Needless to say the problem has been sorted with a bit of grunt and elbow grease, but note to self - dont just check the angle-of-dangle by eye, use a plumb line and look for "interference" points .
And no, I didn't take photo's of the mis-alignment - far too embarrassing!

Just thought I'd share the knowledge.
