Then, I screwed the (painted black) skirts to the pipe... I guess I’ll need to carry a Phillips screwdriver with me for tire changes but since I no longer possess a good spare that’s of little consequence at the time being...
Love it - particularly since I also have an s-load of pipe left to use from my wheel discs!
