flicking about on CRC i came across [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=78326 ]THIS[/url] deal.... works out about 2,30 per tube.
anyone used them? good, bad or just a tube?
Yes. Just a tube
Not the lightest at 273gm each, but pretty decent quality and thickness of butyl/rubber.
They still puncture and pinch flat, but a tube's a tube, right?
I'd buy them again if I was looking for spares

really, that heavy? or is that for the chunkier tubes?
i'm looking at the 26x1.7-2.1 tubes... never bother getting bigger tubes as i assume the rubber just has to expand a little more.
Yup, just weighed one on the kitchen scales.
Tbh I'm not a weight watcher and went for the 26x 2.1 - 2.6's though as took them to the Alps and running 2.35 tires. Your right about it expanding a bit, but it also makes he tube walls thinner, if that matters at all.
yeah it's thinner, but is .05mm enough to make the difference between a pinch flat or not?
usually if i hit the rim hard enough i'll pinch flat. not sure if the extra gnat's cock is going to change that.
I had a bunch of these split along the 'seam'. I did like the green valve cap though 🙂
