I've got a stack of Conti tubes I bought cheap.
ITS online used to sell tubes for 2 quid but they closed down.
I do patch tubes (though not quick enough judging by the box of tubes I have here) so I'm not too bothered but I'm guessing people buying tubes from shops aren't patching and are probably a bit stuck.
I wonder what the Decathlon tubes cost that I bought during Transiberica?
If higher prices do actually encourage patching I might change my opinion on price.
Everything is more expensive these days anyway. I think I'm just typing now because I don't really have a point. Weather's nice eh?

Haven’t tubes always been about £6 in a shop anyway? I left the country a few years ago and if it has gone up a quid in that time, that’s not so bad? Don’t understand the issue. With that said, I buy Conti tubes (sorry @hippy) in sets of ten and I think they come out to $3.00 each.
