Inner Tube

Dr Sludge self seal innertubes 26x1.75x 2.15

Advantages: safer, less hassle, easy to use
Disadvantages: More expensive then normal tubes

...There are two main types dr sludge, which I prefer and slime, they both do the same job in the same way but I find dr sludge better. The future Basically I'm not sure how long they live but they do work well, saving the purchase of new tubes and repair kits, its worth a punt at £4.99 to see if they work for you. Unless something drastic happens I cant see they last any less then normal tubes unless the flubber inside decides to combust or something ...

Review of Dr Sludge Self Sealing Inner Tube

STAY ON THE ROAD!!

Advantages: Durable. Ease of fitting.
Disadvantages: None

The Race 28 is a road bike inner tube from Continental. It can be bought individually for around £5 but I bought a pack of 10 from the online cycle shop Wiggle, for just under £35 I also saved a little extra in the form of cashback through the Top CashBack website. 10 May last me a while as i have rode all summer (alleged summer) and have only suffered one puncture which would have been repaiable had I had the inclination. I opted for the 42mm presta ...
...roadside with a compact pump. They come already coated in powder, which will stop you having to talc them ( a little inconvenient if you are 30 miles from home), in order to prevent punctures when fitting by the tube nipping between tyre and wheel. I run my tyres at around 120psi and I am very impressed, given the state of the local roads especially, that I have not suffered more punctures. ...

Review of Continental Race 28

All in one survival kit and inner tube

Advantages: Virtually indestructable
Disadvantages: Price, slightly heavier than average

...a spare tube. The Panaracer tube is a fairly hefty beast. Your average butyl rubber tube is fairly flimsy, but this one could probably be used as a lasso for capturing deer or other wild animals that happen to be around if you get stranded! Quite frankly, I've never seen such a thick wall on a tube. Weight junkies will turn their nose up at these because they are that little bit heavier than most rubber tubes. That's not really the issue, though. ...
...up with a flat anyway, so you should be spared the ultimate nightmare of changing the tube, only to discover that you've just put a pinch puncture in your spare. All in all, a nice tube, well worth the extra weight (and the fact that my local bike shop charges £4 for them!) ...

Review of Panaracer Inner Tube

Fool if you dare..

Advantages: You look good if pulled over buy the inner-tube police
Disadvantages: lots of money !!

Not my favourite item for throwing money away at. Expensive compared with your non-brand counterparts and they go as often (statistically valid!!). Seems funny that I had more damage caused by these very thin tubes squeezing in between the tyre and rim and ripping themselves then I ever had with a nice fat walled inner tube ! My opinion buy a nice few cheap inner-tubes and every time you get your second puncher etc just stick a new one in ! – ...
...nice expensive tube.. Lots of love Eatcha ADDITION 3/2/01 My critics have demanded more so I will attempt to please, what exactly I can say about an inner-tube that I have not already said I’m not sure. LOL Its black if its a reasonable price. If you go super expensive which you wouldn’t on a mountain bike you can get the latex variety which come in many colour variations, as I say these are very expensive super light maybe more resistant ...
