Fuck me, the price of inner tubes!

rubber cement - the rape of the world.

shinscar - can you please inform me of my mistake.

i am happy to admit that i may be wrong and haven't done any real research into the environmental impact of patching vs replacing, but would greatly appreciate the wisdom of someone who has.

a loose dribbly arse?!?
You sick man.

wisdom...ha... you clearly havent met me.

How come everything that is about saving money requires splashing out up front? :(

Your grasp of economics is not exactly stellar,is it? ;-)

Lucky I also live in Portsmouth where Cycle World are doing a 3 for 1 on Bontrager inner tubes. £4.99.

It's just a different scale of economics mouse works on, the Rapha scale of economics, it's logarithmic.

£1.90 each

if you broke it down into 10ps or less that could have been a good hours entertainment if the bin was a challanging distance away

I thought of that too when I said it.

Not come across Nutrak tubes, but fortunately cyclebasket have Contis at the same price:

The big Tesco stores (the ones that also do clothes/electronics) have a small cycling section, usually neat the other sports goods and toys. Seem to recall them being quite cheap. They also do basic black toe straps.

Didn't even spot those!! well done

Bogof ftw.

Given that there's £6 P&P, might it be worth someone ordering a heap of them and redistributing?

I <3 Michelin tubes.

Threadless valves FTW.

What's the pros of threadless valves? Surely the threaded one are easier too fit, as you secure the valve onto the rim?

last year i got 10 conti's from cycle basket @£1.50, but they have hardly any stock at the moment

I know, hippy bought the lot...

Lucky I also live in Portsmouth

That's something that's seldom heard...

Also not bad: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=CONTTUBE400

Instead of those rip- off puncture proof strips, I just use the old tube, split it, wet it and wrap it around the new one.

A decent seal between valve and pump.

Valve lockrings are shit. I've seen too many people overtighten them and fuck up tubes, and they've also got a nasty habit of working loose and rattling around.

You don't need to 'secure' a valve when fitting a tube, unless maybe you're learning disabled or something (I worked with learning disabled people, and some of that fiddly symmetrical stuff does their heads in).

Vittoria tyres are almost double the price from wiggle
Valve caps are not needed you mofos!
Those little threaded valve thingies are needed even less.
Gumbies, feel free to continue to use them.
