    No, I've done some faulty research which tell me it is carpet fibers. I mean it could have some funky cat hairs in it and I don't trust cats.
    Note, I can't refute the old crusty title you gave me ;)

    ah....there's nothing like the smell of fresh glue, it's part of the experience.

    That said, tufo tape is not bad during a flat. But if you have time, I highly recommend gluing.

    Why in my day we used glue to get it to adhere to the rim. They were called them sew-ups and we used dental floss to sew them up after a repair. Ah, the a prize of a silk makes me shutter with delight. Dang whipper snappers! Bikes are made of carpet fiber now too...gimme steel. LOL Five stars!! UFCF #02937S
