cheapest place for road bike inner tubes?

[mrsbaggins]

Suffered a few punctures lately and have been getting new ones from halfords @ 4.99. Does anyone know if wilkinson do a road one? I know they do MTB. Or anywhere else thats cheaper I can maybe buy 5 at a time?

Ebay.

Ebay.

+1, but if you can't wait for postage any LBS worth their salt should have tubes at a reasonable price, they know they have to be more competitive now than ever

Have a look about on the web for best bargains normally.
If you keep picking up punctures have a good look at your tyres. It might be a good time, with winter coming, to upgrade. I am not bothered about a bit of extra weight on my bikes so would recomend Marathon Plus's
A more flat proof tyre I have yet to find.

Ebay or if I need one quickly Tesco superstores have them for £4

You'll get them far cheaper than a fiver, without going into depth I've found ribble quite cheap for things lately.

If your using Halfords you can usually get 3 for 2

my LBS charges me £3 for Specialized red packet, which are the best - but that's what you get when you shop there a lot.

I ordered 10 for £17 from CRC.

£1.70 each, I thought that was a good deal...

you can get cheap innter tubes at decathlon, £1.99 each. i found however, it is cheaper and less hassle if you buy puncture resistant tyres.

Cycleworld are a proper LBS with 3 branches so you are helping them stay alive in the face of the internet!

If you are using halfrauds then you should not be.

I wish I could bring myself to buy cheap innertubes, unfortunately I am such a tart, I have to have Continentals with the yellow dust caps.

Ribble do 10 x Race 28 for just over £25 (if you make your order up to over £35) You could of course save your yellow dust caps and screw them on even cheaper tubes - no one will ever know! Though I find the end of the cap cracks off eventually - planned obsolesance maybe?
