[Brandy]

Are you ordering some?

[Tiffanie]

Wow, cheap! Good timing, too... thanks for the link, V. :)

[bitingduck]

just ordered a bunch...

[voltman]

I did. In retrospect, I should have ordered more than 10, but I have a bunch of Michelin tubes already.

[thomson]

I ordered as well. Thanks for the heads-up Volty

[chimivee]

You wanna combine shipping?

[Tiffanie]

I'm ordering some too...

[voltman]

The 42s may be a touch tall for my Open Pros. I may need new wheels.

[Brandy]

You wanna combine shipping?

Yes please!

[roadfix]

I'll take 10 also....if anyone would like to combine shipping...:)

[OC Roadie]

I was just going to post this in the "shopping thread", Im in for 20 :)

edit: ended up ordering 50 of them:eek:

[voltman]

We'll need to plan a Tour de Get-Your-Tubes-Here.

[chimivee]

I'll place an order, then:

Me: 10
Brandy: 20
Fixer: 10

I'll plan to place the order around noon-ish, in case any one else want in.

You can take me off the list, James. I placed my order just a little while ago. :) Thanks though!

[roadfix]

Thanks James!

I'll take Tiff's 10 though...so put me down for 20!

[chimivee]

You guys are outta control!!!

[chimivee]

:rolleyes:

[voltman]

Just one note. Since these are 42mm stems, I think the tallest rim you can use with these is around 26mm (Ksyriumish height). I think you run into trouble with 30mm (Reynolds Alta Race) aero rims and up.

[voltman]

It's not like anyone ordered Ksyriums to use the tubes on!

blah, blah, blah...will they work with mine?

[voltman]

No. You need new wheels.




(Yes.)

[Brandy]

No. You need new wheels.




(Yes.)

thanks. ;)

I think they are...buy the kyseriums and give me the OP's!

They do work on 30 mm deep rims (Easton Vistas), but not with much room to spare. These are what came with my Cervelo Soloist when I bought it. I usually now buy tubes with 50mm stems instead.

[roadfix]

But on the other hand, these stems will stick out like a sore thumb if running older low profile rims. But at these prices, who cares...:D

[Jim Bonnet]

These are listed as out of stock now. However they expect more to come tomorrow. I got 40.

cheers-

That's the spirit!

I've noticed some sites now just show the coupon code on their website since they know it's passed around the forums anyway!

[ronjon10]

Ok people, seriously. How often do y'all go through tubes? Maybe I'm using heavier, more durable tubes, but I just don't go through them often. As with everyone else, my flats come in bunches, usually in 3's. Then I buy a put on a new tire and life is well again for many months. Having said that. I ordered 10, they can go on the stack of tires which have been sitting in my garage for 4 months.

I will say, I go through wimpy road tires quick, I need gatorskins and the like if I want them to last. I order tires in 3's. The rear tire normally wearing out 2x faster than the front.

Thanks for the link!

It depends, Ron. Sometimes, I go forever without needing one and then other times, it seems I flat on every ride. It never hurts to buy them and in bulk is great.

Thanks for the link, James!

True dat :)

You're welcome. But, it was Voltman.

[awiner]

Are these tubes any good ? In the Road Cycling forum they are saying some things that are disparaging about them.

Also, what size are they ? 700x ?

There's always someone who will talk down Ultralight tubes, or Ultralight anything, for that matter.

[voltman]

Or anything bicycle-related for that matter.

[1265 Lombardi]

Thanks for the heads up Voltare. I got tubes upon tubes which I say to myself, one day I will fix and reuse. I am guessing it aint gonna happen.

[Indolent58]

I wish I was ultralight.

[OC Roadie]

Then the haters would have to talk smack about you.
