Hello:

I was wondering, are there better inner tubes than standard ones? The ones I have are standard on my bike, and they keep losing air, even though they don't seem to have any punctures in them.

I've seen some bike tires mentioned that are thicker than the standard tire, and also "slime" tubes which apparently are for quick seals when getting punctures.

Would either of these work better than a standard bike tube?

I would also like a bike tire that has better air stems on them than the regular short ones. They are so difficult to get the airpump on and off of. Im getting older and cant deal with having to fight the air pump to get on and off the air stems.


Thanks!
