    thank god the tubes are made by Bell, if it was Adsa's own brand i wouldnt touch them. would probably end up being 0.1mm thick or something stupidly cheap like that, but I would give the bell ones a go :)

    gyed = ?

    Worth a go, at that price.

    Thats assuming youre still using the stone age technology of inner tubes, of course..

    Maybe they're solid rubber?
    What heppens if you do puncture them? Is the guarantee genuine?

    i bet asda customer services will love the stream of MTBers turning up with punctured tubes! :lol:
  • It says Gaurenteed no punctures on the box and the box is no bigger than the standard tube box (I think)

    Does this type of tube ride different ?

    Looks like I should get a couple

    They're probably pretty heavy, in an area where extra weight makes the most difference.

    Not tried them though, they could be ace!
