Which innertube would you advise for durability particularly for use on crappy city streets

    Most of the tyre manufacturers make good inner tubes, Michelin, Continental,Vittoria,Schwalbe. IMO there is no inner tube that stands out as being better than the rest. However i would say that fitting a good set of tyres is half the battle. It,s no good buying the most expensive inner tubes if you run crappy tyres. What tyres do you run.

    vittoria topazo pro, i think they're pretty good tyres. On that note is there a particular tyre you think is better for lessening the chance of punctures? Ta.

    Hi

    I use Michelin Krylion carbon, available here www.probikekit.com These are one of the very best tyres for preventing punctures, however they are also very difficult to get hold of. If you are quick you may be lucky and get two from the above shop. Failing that you can try continental 4000 or Vittoria rubino pro they are all very puncture resistant. Sorry, but don,t know much about your current tyres.
