re-tube cost

tue · 26 July 2004, 21:26

Anyone know a ballpark figure for re-tubing a 6.5m Ribtech. I've e-mailed a few companies but haven't get any replies

Ah, sorry there Tue,

I'd like to help but unable to!

Tue, timing isn't good, suspect all the firms are working flat out at the moment, a nice cold Nov or Dec might be better. Think you are looking at 2.5-3k though.

Since most of them are down your way, might be worth a trip to see them.

Are they for your rebuild project & are you going to fit them?
I think you are looking at about £2500!

yes for my Ribtech. I think fitting tubes is a bit beyond me. I'll put a patch on no problem but don't want to be responsible for the bit that makes a RIB a RIB

I have just had my Ribtec professionlaly cleaned by Scott at www.ribrepair.com. He does a great job of repairs and seem reasonable.
His workshop is near you.

Hey after the work you have put in already I thought that fitting tubes would be just up your street!
Also do they really kneed replacing they look OK to me!

They're ok now I've cleaned 'em up a bit but I thought since I've got a new floor I may aswell get new tubes to finish the look. Plus over a couple of weeks they tend to go down, I think its the valves but can't get 'em out without cutting into the tubes.
