    I need extended presta valves and Halfords do them for a wallet bashing £5 each!!! Is there anywhere to get them online cheaper?
    Decathlon, my normal supplier, don't have extended valves

    cheers in advance

    My LBS will usually do 3 for a tenner. I believe most bike shops will. Other than that search the web, CRC usually have a selection of tubes on sale if you scroll through the 3 pages of them….

    Merlin do 10 for £20 (posted) or 5 for £12. They've always been thick(ish) raliegh ones when I've ordered some

    Halfords do price matching. Take in a ticket from the cheapo tesco tubes. I did this back when halfords had 3 for 2 and got three tubes for something like 4 quid, cashback!

    Skiprat was telling me Saturday that the travelling one day sale company is just off j35 of the M1 and that they are cheap there. Dunno if you fancy a trip up?

    superstar are about to release tubes made from octopus tentacles.

    they have to be installed by a qualified professional though otherwise they puncture straight away and you get no refund

    find someone who "doesnt mend tubes", and relieve them of thier pile of punctured tubes.

    then buy/find

    1x tube of vulcanising solution (rubber cement stuff)
    1x piece of cut to size rubber patch (good for up to 1 million patches if your as stingey as me)
    1x bottle of "tipple of the week": my suggestion is for a whiskey, but good beer would do too
    1x copy of "substance" by Joy division

    sit your ass down and get patching 🙂
    i aquired a box of probably 50 tubes with punctures off a lazy friend who can get them "on the cheap" from "a man" with "a dog" (not nicked, dont worry)

    took me an evening, and a very pleasureable evening at that 🙂

    if your the person who "doesnt mend tubes", please send your stockpile my way 🙂

    I've found roadies particualrly bad for not mending tubes, cant work out why, especialy seeing how expensive lightweight roadie tubes are!
