[#2968627]

Off to Alps in 8 weeks, can anyone recommend inner tubes for my hardtail in the Alps please! I'll be using a 2.35 Dual Ply HR on the rear, tubeless on the front.

I found [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=54487 ]AirWave DH Tubes[/url] for £30 for a box of 10.

Any other great deals out there!?

Tesco innertubes are usually cheap. About £2 each, or less.

I've just returned and think I was the only person in my group of 8 not to get a puncture - was also the only person with dual ply DH tyres (2.5DHF and 2.35 DHR). Just had regular specialized tubes fitted.

That's reassuring Hugh! I'll stick a normal tube in it, and take some DH ones as spares.

Yup, the Tesco tubes work fine on a hardtail for me aswell. No need for DH tubes really (aslong as you have phat as phuck tires)
