Black Valve Inner tubes

[Johnno260]

I was using series black inner tubes from Ribble which they no longer make.
Now yes it’s a purely for the look but I like having black valve stems.
I can’t find any other brands and google is just throwing black inner tubes at me! haha

anyone else know of inner tubes with black valve stems please?

haha not a bad idea.

Rare I'd say. I do tend to not like mis-matched valves myself, but haven't come across black presta valves before.

Poundland black aerosol could be your friend.

Yes it’s an aesthetic thing but I really prefer the black valves, the Ribble ones were really good hardly any issues with them at all, just my last batch of inners are more patch than tube now! haha.

I can try and heat shrink some and keep the caps I have, but if I can I would prefer to have less faff.

I heard Mavic did some but I can’t see stock anywhere.

I had bought stock of the Ribbles but it got whittled down when I handed out spare tubes to people when I saw people needed help with punctures when out.

Shame you're not tubeless, get presta valves in any colour you like (within reason)

wheels are tubeless ready, I just haven’t made the transition yet, a few rides with my cousin who is tubeless and he had punctures that wouldn’t seal that put me off.

Yes, exactly the reason I'm sticking with tubes!
