I've never read it on here, which means that either virtually nobody knows or everybody does!
They only do 20", 24" and 26" and it's hit or miss that they'll have your size stocked when you visit (last time I went they just had 2 dozen 24").

  • Are they any good though? Halfords do cheap tubes but they're rubbish. I'd much rather spend a bit more for a reliable product that is fit for purpose.
    It's only numbers.

    I have a few of these tubes in the saddle pouch of each of our bikes as spares. They seem OK although I haven't tested one in anger. For our family who are keen leisure cyclists, I would rather spend a pound for an emergency repair rather than than £12.99 per bike.

  • As a back up they are fine, I have used them for a few repairs, however they do seem to give up the ghost for no real reason and then you seem to keep replacing the same tube.
