yeah cheapest, all the same really arent they

i mean, i say it was annoying that the valve broke. it wasn’t any more annoying than getting a regular puncture.

Mid range normally (£5/6 quid). Whatever is local, so specialized or Bontrager ones.

A mate uses Vittoria latex jobbers. claims they reduce rolling resistance. They cost a lot, so I don’t think it’s worth it.

There’s a thread for that…

Cycling Thread for Normal People who think cycling is just yknow alright or perhaps an inexpensive means of getting from A->B Social

Hi, Other thread is insufferable. Does anyone use self-sealing inners or add slime to their inners (same thing)? I was sceptical at first but I've been having a lot more success lately. I find that I still get punctures BUT if I re-inflate it's ok. I tried it a few years ago but I didn't re-inflate when I got punctures, I went through the whole thing of repairing them. NOT NECESSARY.

i know within 5 mins of installing some kind of expensive tube I’d cycle over some broken glass

Aggpass · 2017-09-22T09:16:55.598Z

yeah I mean you would still live in Glasgow

Plus, they’re not really worth it are they. You’d be better of with tubs.

Matt_was_taken · 2017-09-22T09:21:11.571Z

tempted

japes · 2017-09-22T09:22:18.523Z

was wondering if anyone buys like 10 of them at a time or something for bulk discounts?

rich-t · 2017-09-22T09:32:05.894Z

Yeah. Sport pursuit quite of have a 10 pack on offer. Personally just buy 2 then replace as needed.

Matt_was_taken · 2017-09-22T09:48:52.333Z

harru · 2017-09-22T09:48:54.565Z

Always buy conti inner tubes but don’t like conti tyres

harru · 2017-09-22T09:51:10.310Z

Don’t think I’d get away with going on holiday without TV to her favourite place with a load of people I’ve never met, might give it a try though

japes · 2017-09-22T09:51:52.616Z

bring her along

plasticniki · 2017-09-22T10:00:39.123Z

Lifeline inners. Really cheap, pretty good imho.

@Matt_was_taken and @harru, we’ve not bought flights yet. Mike and I probably will in the next week. Partners obviously invited, too.

rich-t · 2017-09-22T10:01:21.521Z

Gonna need a bigger house
