where is a good place to buy tubes?
on supergo.com they had 10 tubes for $20 internet special but they are all sold out.

I wanted to get a bunch of spare tubes but it is hard to find a place that sells them foe under $4 a tube. Do any of ya guys know of any online deals? I have seen 3 packs on the performance bikes web site for $10.
thanks

Everytime I walk into my local LBS's they have sales on tubes. I never worry about searching online. Have you gone into any local stores to check prices?

Why do you want to buy a bunch of spare tubes? Are you trying to save money? Are you not repairing your tubes? I repair mine about 5x before tossing them, and at that rate a tube lasts me, well, forever (1 flat per 1k miles approx). That's how to get cheap tubes.

I second checking out LBS. I was lucky to catch a sale where they had tubes at 3 for $5. Catch a deal and stock up.

The RBR (Recumbent Bike Riders) shop across the street from my work. Most LBS around here want $5 for a tube but this place charges me $3 out the door. They have good deals on some other stuff too.
