[Andywinds]

Can anyone recommend an inner tube for these wheel please. The tyres are Mavic Aksion.

Thank you.

Any will do, they are all much muchness. Continental, Spesh, Halfords. Etc etc.

Doesn't matter. I use halfords ones, buy 5 for £9 with BC discount when they have an offer on as they do now they are nicely shrink wrapped so fit well into a saddle bag

Fwiw just don't buy from wilkinsons, those are awful, and I didn't personally think schwalbe or specialized were worth the premium price over halfords

Good tyres with puncture protection more important

Great thanks, I will look at the Halfords ones.

Daft question time, with a 700x23 tyre would I go for 18-25? there is also 23-32, but I've read that the bigger tube is more likely to get a pinch flat.

Either will be fine, I'd go for 18-25

Yes as above, personally I prefer the long valve version as it makes it easier to get the pump head on for me. Although technically they are for deep rims. Practicality trumps aesthetics. Although they look no worse nor better than short valves!

I agree, I have used longer ones on my MTB for a while now.

I've never noticed any difference between expensive tubes and cheap ones, so I pay a tenner for five from this place http://www.innertubeshop.com/
