Can anyone recommend a place to buy some decent quality and well priced tubes?
I'm probably going to buy 10ish as I seem to have upset the p fairy of late!
Whilst I try to support my LBS for most things his tubes are a bit pricey.

Cheers.

Ps, I've done a search and Planet X seem to be the place but I've fallen out with them!

I bought a bundle from this place for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I've used one so far, and they seem pretty reasonable. Will certainly use them again!

If you have suffered more punctures than might seem reasonable, have you checked the condition of your tyres? Are they old & worn? Are they inflated to recommended pressure?

Thanks, I had seen that site but it's good to get a recommendation.

I picked up a double puncture last weekend, ironically 100 yards from my last visit!
Then I'm ashamed to say I knicked not one tube but two when changing my tyres a few days ago whilst rushing.
Lesson learnt.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
^^^ repair them! - and refit the tyre without levers, and check you havent pinched the tube between the rim and tyre bead before inflating.

I've got some halfords vouchers to use so I'll order some from there.

I can normally get tyres back on without the levers but the gp 4 seasons I've bought are particularly tight.

I bought 3 Bike Hut presta valve tubes from Halfords (obviously) in a deal because I needed them. The valves on all 3 failed. Halfords swapped them for 3 Continental ones which have been great.

I'm glad to hear that, thought it was just me making the GP4 seasons seem hard to fit!!!lol
