Here we go again. Beerman, BMXTRIX, Snazz, - who makes the tubes? Is it Cheng Shin, or does IRC make tubes too?

I seem to remember there were only two major tube manufacturers, both in Asia, but I could be wrong about that. I think even like the Bontrager ultralight road tubes roll off the same factory line. Rubber is rubber, man. You're better off worrying about headset spacers.
I *do* wish I could get presta tubes in 20x1.75, schrader stems don't last long at 120psi.

Glue on tires only belong on plastic bikes.

I must now go to work and send the world large blocks of 98.7% pure aluminium. I'd rather be home selling bike parts online, but the pay's not too bad. Oh well.

Slime should not work - Most tubes pop because the tire is old and worn which easily allows thorns through or (more likely) you run 40PSI in the tubes or less instead of 60+ PSI which keeps you rolling smooth and helps to reject pinch flats and typical road crud.

some kid told me about these tubes that aren't round, they are straight. both ends are sealed so you can put a new tube in without taking the tire off
