Hi

Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to buy decent tubes from? Looking for decent quality and a pack of 5 or 10

Thanks

    Bought a pack of these but not had reason to use any yet (thankfully, *touch wood* keep the puncture fairy away) Decent price at £2.50 a tube though :)

    No problem ;)
    Assuming you've got a mountain bike and it's got normal sized tyres/wheels you want a 26 X something. The SV is a schrader valve (car type) the PV is a presta valve (skinnier than car type and you have to unscrew the top to pump it up. A quick google image search should help if you're unsure. Order the right valve for your rims and look at your tyre's sidewall for width is probs easiest not getting too hung up on it matching to the millimetre.
