Bulk buy for road tubes- any interest?

    Any interest in a bulk buy for road tubes, after 3 issues on the way home with a puncture, and two failed valves, I think its time to accept my reused tubes might need replacement/back ups.

    Looking around and I can pick up Conti tubes for a reasonable price if I bulk buy, If I get enough interest here and people are close enough to South Dublin/North Wicklow, I will do a bulk buy and drop off on my commute. Looking at the prices, I can do postage for a fiver if you are further away.

    Conti Race 28 60mm - €4 each
    Conti Race 28 80mm - €3.5 each
    Conti Race 28 Wide 60mm - €5each

    If you have interest, just reply with the number and type you want and if I have enough interest by Tuesday morning I'll place an order.

    Would be intersted although would have to post. Some german websites do workshop packs like you would get in a shop, so would also be interested if people were willing to buy chain packs etc.?

    Dropped you a PM there, I can add other stuff in if there is interest and stretch out the order date.

    Just curious as to why you'd use Conti's again. Aren't they known for valve problems?

    I had never heard that, tubes that had valve issues are a few years old and rattling around in my bag, think one was Conti and the other Schwalbe. Regardless, it was simply a good offer on the bulk buy, not brand loyalty.

    Had a look at the link you sent, over 6 weeks out and in the current climate, that could be a good bit further, so I'm going to leave them.

    Since there wasn't much interest I have only bulk bought one size:
    Conti Race 28 60mm - €4 each

    If you have interest, you can PM me or reply in thread. Delivery free if local to me or else €5 regardless of the number.

    Bought a six pack of conti about two years ago had two with valve issues might have been unlucky but that was my experience.

    Recently had 3 contis in a row with valve core issues. They were old mind you, so putting it down to general perishment, but still...

    €3.50 for an inner tune is expensive.
    Just buy generic ones

    I bulk bought these Decathlon ones for €1.50 each before they were discontinued

    I’m good with that thanks.

    I’ve never had any issues with Conti tubes and use them most of the time - maybe I’ve just been lucky?
