Dig it up from your road, or ask a plucky roofer for kettle tar.

[Siders77]

Do not buy it! You can get it from roofers or from the path. Have a look for a roofer and ask if he has some spare. :P Or if you look on the path there are normally dark black lines going along it, dig some of that uo. OR you could grind your rim. :-

I would grind it as the winters near and tar and rain mean death as the pads wont work at all

"Tar is a form of bitumen. Bitumen comes from crude oil which through a clever process of fractional distillation, produces the aforementioned hydro-carbon"

Its easiest to get it from road people to be honest. I asked for tar once from a shop and then put a tin (of paint) of tar infront of me. It looks alot like coal (which is also made from carbon)

Get it from roads, theres loads of topics about where to get it, try the search button next time :P

if you get it from the roads it has small stones in it

if you buy it youve just spent money you could spend on your bike

just ask a roofer, i had to ask a few people but i got some in the end

I usually use tar but now as winter is coming up i am thinking of a grind. Personally get a grind and forget the tar.

Forget the tar and the grind, that's the way i'm going. :P
