    Anyone got a recommendation for a box of reasonably priced 700*23 tubes?

    Last time i bought a box of 20 vittoria ultralite tubes i dont remember them being nearly as expensive as they are now. Also ribble only have the long valve ones.

    Just looking for something robust for the winter, not concerned about lightness this time of year.

    Wiggle have a box of 10 vittoria ones for around £33, but they're out of stock at the moment (meant to be back in stock the middle of January), though depending on the incoming bad weather it could be awhile before you get them.

    Can't really go too far wrong with these at 25 quid for 10 of them. Quality and weight aren't top notch, but they definitely do the job for me when your getting punctures left right and centre :D

    I got the same ones. The valve seems to jam a bit but nothing that causes problems, no problems so far.

    Agree with CramCycle valves are very stiff on them, but they have otherwise served me well.

    Not sure how the prices compare to those mentioned above but Evans Cycles have an offer of half-price on Specialised tubes this week.

    Edit: Scratch that, just had a look now and those are for delivery within UK only. Sorry.

    I bought a few of these last year. For a couple of quid a tube they arent bad. Wouldnt be bomb proof. The green dust cover looks cool though.
