They're simple yeah, but just like a loaf of bread doesn't cost the same as it did 10 years ago.
Just wondered what you did with the terrifying amount of tubes you collect, maybe (if not to scary) repairing and reselling would be more eco & a better margin / price point for your customers?
We don't, because the risk of it failing and people coming back pissed off is untenable. We try to recycle them, but costs come into it.
@n3il Average cost of motorbike tyres for me is about £250

I actually really rate the corsa’s for puncture protection although I only ride them in the summer.
Tyre tech seems to be always evolving but £7 for a tube that appears to be the same as one from 5 / 10 years ago & looks pretty simple to make is harder in my mind to justify paying out for.
