Recommendation for tubes for Giant Escape and Trek FX 7.2
I have two hybrids now, what can I say. I do need to pick up some spare tubes, ideally puncture/flat resistant - any recommendations for the FX 7.2 (700x35) and Escape 3 (700x32)? thanks...

Well I'm as dumb as dog poo poo.
I've never in all these years taken puncture resistance into consideration, when buying tubes. I've always been more concerned about the tyres.
How about Mr Tuffy's? They are heavy as hell, but will probably do the trick with 'standard' tubes.

Schwalbe Marathon Supremes as tires will help with puncture protection, and Schwalbe tubes hold air better than any tube I have ever used.

Heavy thorn resistant inner-tubes add puncture resistance . and being so thick lose air more slowly..
