YouTube's?

Do you use tubes for straps on your LUM's? If so, do you get scratches on the inner lugs? Just curious what you all do?

I use tubes, but scratches inside on the inner lugs don't bother me though. For the people who care, they can use a 22mm tubes instead of the 24mm

...or just fine sandpaper the 24mm tubes slightly smaller and smoother.

Were talking about micro scratches INSIDE of the lugs now, who will ever notice. I always use the tubes, and honestly, have never even thought about this topic before.

Sounds like most of us use tubes then. Makes sense!

Bryan, you don't have to use tubes as you have the new quick change system. The tubes are for helping prevent the screws (which you don't have) from backing out.

This way you can keep you insides of your lugs, which are completely hidden, fresh and clean as they day you bought them!
