Why dont y'all buy bulk...Like shop bulk... There must be some amount of you that have the same tube size range, plus you would save even more!

Cyclebasket is really cheap, bought from them before but postage is a bit steep so you need to buy more tubes to make it worthwhile... Don't think you'll do better than £1.50 a tube tbh...

+1 for bulk deals from Ribble, the Contis are good. I've also had Vittoria and Michelin.
I'm still working my way through the last box of 10 Contis which suggests they're pretty good.Cheap patches from Inmotion are also good (pack of 100 for £6.25, also double ended allen keys 5/6mm for 80p and huge tubes of puncture repair glue 40p, proper cable cutters for £16 etc. etc.) http://www.inmotionproducts.com/
**Don't buy chinese rubbish **(Specialized branded for example), they are crap.
Decathlon tubes look like a bargain, until you use them - also crap.Doesn't everyone get their tubes made in Taiwan/China ? Wouldn't be surprised if they all came from the same factory

Any news of any cheap deals going at the moment? Chainreaction seems not to do 10 airwave road tubes for 20£ any more..

In the evans sales usually spesh inner tubes go down to about £2, so i normally buy 5-6 of them then
-
• #38
are specialized really not worth it? A tubes a tube right? Is it a weight issue?
-
• #39
they split, down the seams, repeatedly
hippy thinks its an installation issue, so user error
but why do users only fuck up installing specialized tubes?
hippy is wrong on this issue

+1 Specialized tubes are the WORST.
Schwalbe are good. Michelin too - especially the latex ones...

Trade price +vat on the Bonti tubes in the shop I work in isn't much under £1.50 I don't think so those that are finding tubes around that price are doing pretty good.
It should be noted that I don't get trade plus vat, I get retail -30%. This is why I just tend not to pay for them.

Have had problems with specilized and bonti now just use continintal most of the time.

Had probs with conti, now use spesh. Condor deal is a good one and I have partaken. Additionally, I should probably add that meh.
