I need extended presta valves and Halfords do them for a wallet bashing £5 each!!! Is there anywhere to get them online cheaper?
Decathlon, my normal supplier, don't have extended valves
cheers in advance
My LBS will usually do 3 for a tenner. I believe most bike shops will. Other than that search the web, CRC usually have a selection of tubes on sale if you scroll through the 3 pages of them....
not sure if still on offer but were 5 for a tenner here - http://www.bikecity.biz/
Merlin do 10 for £20 (posted) or 5 for £12. They've always been thick(ish) raliegh ones when I've ordered some
Halfords do price matching. Take in a ticket from the cheapo tesco tubes. I did this back when halfords had 3 for 2 and got three tubes for something like 4 quid, cashback!
Skiprat was telling me Saturday that the travelling one day sale company is just off j35 of the M1 and that they are cheap there. Dunno if you fancy a trip up?
aye why not
Decathlon are purdy cheap.

superstar are about to release tubes made from octopus tentacles.
they have to be installed by a qualified professional though otherwise they puncture straight away and you get no refund
Decathlon, my normal supplier, don't have extended valves
go toobless and never have to buy any again....
find someone who "doesnt mend tubes", and relieve them of thier pile of punctured tubes.
then buy/find
1x tube of vulcanising solution (rubber cement stuff)
1x piece of cut to size rubber patch (good for up to 1 million patches if your as stingey as me)
1x bottle of "tipple of the week": my suggestion is for a whiskey, but good beer would do too
1x copy of "substance" by Joy division
sit your ass down and get patching 🙂
i aquired a box of probably 50 tubes with punctures off a lazy friend who can get them "on the cheap" from "a man" with "a dog" (not nicked, dont worry)
took me an evening, and a very pleasureable evening at that 🙂
if your the person who "doesnt mend tubes", please send your stockpile my way 🙂
I've found roadies particualrly bad for not mending tubes, cant work out why, especialy seeing how expensive lightweight roadie tubes are!
