Prefer Conti and Bonti? Conti's can be expensive and s'posed to be great. Bonti's are stock junk!
Why prefer two different grades? I can see Conti - Vitorrio, but Bonti!
FTR, I use cheap arse tubes. It's the engine!

Aahh! I was just curious!........ I use Bonti with no problem. I was thinking most bikesnobs won't touch Bonti. I myself use cheapo tubes with better luck than the good lite thin stuff. I pick up tubes at Sport Chalet too. They are about $3 and work better for me as the walls are thicker and less likely to flat under my weight....I think they are Inline or Cyclesport.

Wholesale distributors sell tubes in quantities of 50. Check with your local bike shop and see if they'll make you a deal on a quan. of 50. They do get a better price when they buy from their distributors in quan. of 50 tubes (all the same size / spec. of course).
I buy in 50's and a case of 50 will usually last my wife and I about three years. Your milage may vary.

Do tubes have a "self life"? Is there a degradation of the rubber over time....

I guess, in theory, everything has a "shelf life." I've never had a problem with tubes, and there's no "sell by" dates on them, so my feeling is: No worries!
Now, that said, if (for example) you found some old tubes in a dark corner of a bike shop from the 1920's and tried to use them . . . yes, they could be a problem!
