OMG - They "age" bike tires.

[trof]

Under the heading of "Things I Would Never Know If I Didn't Watch TV".
They age bike racer's tires in a wine-like cellar.
They say it "dries out the glue(?) and makes the tire more flexible and less likely to puncture".

Now YOU know too.

1. I have several sets of 12 yr old Wolber tubulars in my garage right now

I wouldn't sell them for $100 each right now. Worth more than their weight in gold (about 175gr each).

2. Same thing for condoms

I have several sets of 12 yr old Durex Extra-Sensitive in my garage right now ...
