Evans Cylces also doing specialized inner tubes 1/2 price - can't grumble for £2.50 a tube.
Code 50TUBE at basket.
Cheers for CRC tip.
please do not buy crc tubes. Read the reviews before pulling the trigger.
Eh?
the first page of reviews seem to be great then you get to the second page and it looks like they are rubbish

which is a shame as I was going to get some!
I've used those ones from CRC before; maybe a little thin (but not silly) and don't remember them popping any more than any others.
I've used these tubes for years without problems - extremely durable though not very light (but what does it matter if you're paying £1.80 for them!?) The negative reviews I believe are written by imbeciles who do not know what they are doing - there is one which goes "I put only 65psi of air into it and it blew up" - I wouldn't really trust someone who attempts to inflate an MTB tube to 65psi to give a decent opinion.
Again, I've been using these for ages. No problems here. Nice catch phrase as well.
MMMM. must be just me then. Bought 10 of the buggers and they just split after inflating them. 🙁
Asda have cheap tube too. 1.60 0r there abouts. and you dont have to buy a pile. Quality is ok. Using in ghetto tubeless so cant really tell.
Thin ?!
I seem to remember them weighing more than my tyres, back in the day*
(*course, the real PSA is that you don't need tubes any more 😉 )
Thin ?!
Maybe not - was relying on my unreliable memory.
I always buy whatever's a decent bulk price and I defnly had some once that were a bit suspiciously un-thick. None have ever stood out as being more puncturable than others.
Except Nokian DH tubes! Bags of shite and uber-uber heavy!
Bought 4 & got through 3 of them in a week. Strangely I discovered I was still using one of them recently without realising - it's been going for at least 5 years now!
Still wouldn't recommend them though.
I bought 3 and needed them doing snowdon last year. They were awful, first one I put in was flat again within 6 seconds, no joke, the impact of one rock pinched it. Popped another in and the same happened after 30 more seconds. Didnt risk another so used a mates specialized Tube which got me to the bottom. The final one was quickly placed in the bin!
argh wtf. I bought these having only seen the multi-pack which had no reviews. Mother hubbard.
