If I had gone to private school I probably wouldn’t be shocked at £7 but I sort of was.
Don’t think my normal tyres (Corsa G) were much cheaper then my tubeless (pro1) tyres, no doubt charging more for tubes will encourage people to repair rather then replace but they don’t last forever for various reasons, do you sell repaired tubes?
Lampman-
do you sell repaired tubes?
I don't understand your question.
£7 is now about the standard for a decent tube in any brick and mortar store. It's bread and butter and you'll be surprised at how little margin there is.
You're running £50 per end tyres on two wheelsets....One being Corsa's, which are lightweight tyres that are susceptible to cuts, but your quandary is with £7 tubes?
Curious.

It won't change much, since they're consumables, but the amount of tubes that I accumulate in a month that are guaranteed to go to landfill is fucking terrifying.
I'd rather charge more then pay Schwalbe or someone to recycle them.
@user85518 if you've gone tubeless with premium tyres, not sure why you're shocked at £7 for a tube to be honest.
Wait till you see how much everything is going up in price soon.
