    Was thinking of getting a few tubes (it kills me paying at least 6 euro per tube) anyways I found these,25 continental race 18/25 inner tubes cost 71.64 with 11.84 delivery totals @83.48.

    Works out at just under 3.40 per tube. 42mm valve.

    Depending on interest would like to split it between 2-5 ways.

    Just gauging any interest and probably would buy next week.

    Based in Dublin.

    These were on chain reaction recently, great value I thought.

    I've seen these before but the reviews definitely put me off, I'd rather pay a little more for something of higher quality.

    I'd be interested in a five way split if you can get a few others.

    I just got 5 schwalbe for 20 euro from planet X Ireland. Delivery was like 2 days ! Impressed.

    I also got the Airwave tubes recently from CRC for my MTB. While I have not had any punctures in ages and not needed to use them they are heavy enough and a lot of negative feedback put me off them for the road bike.

    Im off out of on the roadie now and if I get a flat I blame you guys ;)

    Is 42mm the normal length for the valve? I'd prefer a longer valve as my wheels are a pain to fit the standard tubes in - even though they're not deep section wheels. (got nothing here in Zurich to measure at the moment..)

    Reviews seem fine to me.

    Can't see those reviews, only these as a selection of others I've read about the valve failing and around the valve being poor quality

    And @ triggermortis there is the option for 60mm at the same price. I don't know what the others think?


    *Edit*

    your reviews are for the mtb ones whilst the ones I've seen are for the road ones, higher pressure.

    I've had the same problem with the airwaves, kept ripping at the valve
