This culminated in a special day in May 1980

Derby days featuring Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers have existed since 1899 and in the ensuing 100 years the two factions have had a natural divide because they have been based on either side of the River Hull. This is the story of the matches.

Hull colonised the west and Rovers settled in the east and the clubs’ close encounters have generated their own characters and controversies, dramas and dreams.

This culminated in a special day in May 1980 when the two sides met each other in the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.

But Hull’s professional rugby league derbies have not only thrown up their own magic moments and marvellous memories, they have also taken place in a variety of competitions, settings and guises.

This is a paperback reproduction of the long out of print book from 1999.

Fixes flats and old tires like a charm
Style: 1 gal
This stuff is awesome. If you have tractor tires, ATV tires, bike, tires, hell, any tires that hold air. This stuff is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. It does not work for highway vehicles, i.e. Cars and truck trucks. But anything else it’s great. Dollies, air compressors, wheelbarrows, the stuff is awesome dude.

slime is and has always been amazing for bike tires and other small pneumatic tires
Style: 1 gal
this is a great value, I have been using slime in my tubes of my bikes and a small inflatable pneumatic tires for probably 30 years, and I can say slime has only improved, and it works fantastic, this is a very good way to save money, and it works great on goat heads and several other ways your tires can get punctured, I still always recommend carrying a small air compressor or pump, but for the price point you just cannot beat slime, every bike shop should always carry this.

What was left in the bottle worked great. However, the cap was off of the jug when I opened the package. Ididn't have enough for the other tires.

TireJect Product Featured on Youtube Channel "sixtyfiveford" Works Fantastic!
Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit, Size: 8oz MTB Tire Sealant Kit
I recently had an opportunity to work on an old Troy-Bilt Snow Blower with a Carlisle Stud Bias Tire - 4.80-8 4 that had a continual leak and would not hold pressure for more than a day. After investigation, I discovered that it "Champagne" sized bubbles coming from an area on the sidewall that I circled in yellow "China" marker. Because of the size of the tire, I decided to purchase the "TireJect Mountain Bike (MTB) Tire Sealant Kit because I didn't require a lot of material to seal the tire. The TireJect Mountain Bike (MTB) Tire Sealant Kit came with an single 8oz container and I used 4 of those 8oz's in this single tire. The TireJect material sealed up the area beautifully. After the sealant cured, I was able to pump up the tire to 15PSI and it has held it's pressure for more than a week now. You can see from the photos, that the sidewalls in that yellow circled area were actually cracked (probably due to the tire sitting flat for more than a year). I highly recommend this product over previous products I have used in the past (Slime).
