did squeel a little when I'd squeeze the tube really tight.
I'm assuming it was a bad valve.

Just use your pocket to carry the tube home, and then spend 10 minutes checking where the leak is rather than beating your head against the wall and immediately pulling out your credit card. If nothing else, this will help you decide what type of tire or tube might prevent the problem you're having.
Thanks. That's what I pretty much did. Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly enough.
Just decided that if I'm going to have a set of premium tires and a nice set of wheels,
it's time that the tubes matched the rest of the package.
