Does anyone know anywhere you can get bulk orders of inner tubes from? I'm talking 20+ tubes, and obviously decent quality from the big names?

    25 Conti tubes for about £35 delivered.

    I got some back in September.

    Have they been ok redddraggon? Heard you can get bad batches of inner tubes from time to time, just wondered if yours have been ok. Thanks btw.

    Mine have been OK, I've put holes through them with tyre levers but that's my fault rather than the tubes.

  • Silly question but why do you need so many? with decent tyres you should not be needing as many unless your buying for others as well

    For me at least: The LBS sell exactly the same tubes for £5, which means If I bought them from the LBS I could only get 7 for the same price I could get 25.

    I've used quite a few of them actually, carry 3 to work just in case (maybe overcautious), punctured a few times and poked holes in the tubes with tyre levers (I think I've learnt my lesson on that one now)

    Oh I have decent tyres believe me, I want them for the same reason redddragon wants them, cos they're cheaper! Simple as that. Plus the fact that i've been caught out without one doesn't help

    same reason for me, i do get a lot of punctures though,getting better! Getting away from running my tyres to low (pressure) and running into potholes getting pinch punctures and also getting to close to hedges after they have been cut....

    Also good to have spares round, quite a lot more if you want long valvue though :S
