Damn I just got an email:

Not fair. Still it did seem too good to be true

I got the same - somewhere something doesn't ring true. It was advertised as 10 with price of £69.90 yet now is available but at £28.

Maybe going for free postage meant they had time to find out?

Planet-X have some very reduced van nic frames at the moment, especially if you fit a smaller frame (i.e. 50 cm Yukon frame at £400 off)

Same here with the inner tubes. Postie just this minute ago delivered one tube. Phoned Adventure Northumberland they said it was a balls up on Amazons part, spoke to the guy from Amazon and am now getting a full refund. Thought it was too good to be true lol

As they say if a deal is to be good to be true it usually is.

Lidl have a few more cycling bits. I got the tool-kit a couple of years ago. Not the highest quality BB Adjustable cup tools but the rest seem ok.

Anyway, isn't £28 for 10 inner tubes still a good bargain?

Bloody hell. I'll have to do the same. Did they refund the postage as well?

They sent me a link to a barcode which you print out and stick to the package when you send it back to them, so yes, basically they do pay the return postage and the guy said Amazon give a full refund inc postage.

Those Raleigh tubes are £2.99 in Evans at the mo so when I took the bike in for its service I picked one up: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/raleigh/700c-x-18-23-presta-valve-inner-tube-ec028007

Therefore that £28.90 is good for 10.

I've noticed that Decathlon normally have tubes a bargain prices like these, 2 for £2.99.
Never bought any, are they worth a punt next time I'm passing?

I have used them with no issues. They are not as light as some but function perfectly well.

I rate the Decathlon tubes over Specialized £5 specials which always seem to suffer valve failures.

+1 I've always found the Decathlon tubes to be pretty good.
