Continental first or Kenda, and in a pinch Bontrager

I just won't support Specialized - they have such an exclusionary policy against the typical reseller.

A tube is a tube, is a tube...Don't pop it!

Nice tubes Lotek. If I could afford them I'd use em. Too bad I sold my tube stereo gear awhile back.

I'll be more specific in the future

But thanks for the advice so far as I'll be needing inner tires as well, since I'm buying too many bikes...

I'm currently riding a pair of Vittoria competition tubes, which are pretty nice. But since I came across a deal of 8 tubes for 20 euros, I think I'll go with that deal

Is this deal in a shop?

Okay, we have gone from frame tubes to inner tubes, now we find out your question is actually about tubular tires? You tried to save typing 8 letters and ended up wasting 29 posts. Thanks.

Sorry man, but since English isn't my native language I forgot that "tubes" could have been interpreted differently. In Europe we call them "tubes", so that's why. But anyways, it beats tv right?

Note: Kenda (pre-punctured) tubes have an odd stem diameter in their presta - at least. I tried installing an anodized valve-stem collar to one recently. The stem was too large around. Bizarre. Kenda tubes are often offered as a no-name brand by web bike-parts dealers. they'll be the cheapest ones, and they won't say 'Kenda' on the ad or the box. Not a good sign.
