The tubes are available again at the moment. I just ordered for myself, Brandy, and Fixer.

Then the haters would have to talk smack about you.
Indolent58 is so overated.
It's been a while... Report on the tubes ? Have they lasted without problem ?

All good here. I picked up 20. And haven't flatted once in over a month. Surprising bonus: they hold pressure better than my previous tubes -- I top off my tires half as much now.

I've got my whole box of 10 still unopened. Don't know if I'll use them.

I was just thinking that, yesterday, Adam. I thought I had overbought last year, but between bad streaks and loaning out spares, I could use another batch.

As reported by your minions? :)
But seriously, they were "bad", as in... failed as soon as you inflated them? Curious, because I've been through about 15 of them with no worries. That I can remember, at least... hmm... now you have me wondering.

Okay, c'mon now! This "Tiff's flats and her minions" is getting out of hand! :p It's simply me accepting the help from friends... Now, wouldn't you accept the offer(s)? I think so! ;) :)
Yes, "bad" as in failed as soon as they were (not fully) inflated. I'm sure I just got a bad box because I haven't heard any other complaints about them.
zzzwillzzz.... are you implying I may not know how to inflate a tube properly? :eek: :p Hmmmmmm... well, I know they weren't being pinched and they would flat before I could even get them to 80+ psi.

i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. when some gets a flat i usually push them to ground and take over as i can't stand to watch people fumble with the tire and tube.
I bought 20 tubes last year and went through about 13 of them. They were all great other than when I picked up a piece of glass or pinch flatted them over a pothole.
I guess an average of a flat a month, rising 1000+ miles a month at some points is not too bad here with out crummy roads.
I would not hesitate to grab some more tubes at that price if they were offered again.
