Haven't been made for years, so if anyone has any old stock about I'd like some too, best tubes bar none.

I picked up a load a couple of years back in a bargain bin for £1 each, and then found out they were all schraeder valves...

Think they were great shame they stopped making them

Not sure why you'd bother with them rather than go tubeless nowadays. I may have one or two knocking about if anybody really wants one though.

Agree with aracer, not much point to latex tubes (except inside tubulars...) now that tubeless is so common. If you must though I have a feeling Michelin still make a latex tube?

I've ridden with these since Air B's were no longer available. Have to top up the PSI once a week but other than that no problems.

I have found the michelin ones very fragile - the AirB was much stronger. appreciate the comments on tubeless but still want to try and track some down - so if anyone has any un-repaired I would be interested

Michelin bought Air-B a few years back I think, so they are not made any more.

Agree that they were great tubes, although I think the Michelin latex tubes are pretty good as well.

No issue with the Michelin latex run them on my 'darkside' on on my downhill bike. I've never punctured a pair off road...
