I am looking to purchase 10-15 tubes for my children's bikes and strollers - size 12-1/2x2-1/4, and I was wondering if anyone can recommend some online (or other mail-order) sites for discount tubes (in large quantities)

Thank you.

Must be some about but beware of an unbranded tube that is exceptionally cheap- or even a brand that you have not heard of. I once spent a fruitless 20 minutes trying to find a good tube out of a batch of 50 that someone had bought Cheap. Most were discarded by the degraded rubber once they were unrolled from the shiny new box. Others had pin holes in them and some had valves that were unable to take more than 20psi.

I have never had any problems with these. (http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/10988-345_SPD2P1_PKG-3-Parts-74-Tubes/Accessories/IRC-Tubes---Set-of-10.htm)
