As above but they must have at least 50mm valves as I've got deep rims. Looked at the usuals but got in the habit of NOT paying more than £2.99 a tube. Anyone seen any kicking about ? Last ones I got in Halfords from their discount basket ....

18bikes do 3 schwalbe tubes for £10, which is marginally over your budget. Might be worth a shout?

Realistically, how long would 10 inner tubes last? I'd have thought the rubber would perish before they were all needed.

Maybe I am unlucky but with helping mate's and punctures about 12 months. Only repair tubes 2 or 3 times depending on the size position of the patches

Merlin's got 10 for £19.95. The valve is 46mm from the base to the top of the pin. Thread is 20mm

Cheers guys. You'd think that maybe 10 tubes would last some time but I ride everyday (as much offroad as possible) and there are another 3 bikes in the family so it's amazing how that number falls as you replace the 'well used - where do I stick this patch ?' tubes.

Why do folk have arbitrary limits on the number of patches they will put on a tube?

[url= http://www.dalescycles.com/4x_Specialized_road_tube_bundle_700x20_28_Presta_p/mutituberoad20-28.htm ]4 presta tubes for £9 free postage[/url]

I bought these last week, very quick delivery, think it might be a 45mm valve though.
