Wholesale tubes...?
Does anyone remember the link or wholesale seller for tubes?
It was 40dollars for 100 tubes or something...
I'm going to go to the LBS see what he can get me at bulk. Or what wholesale sellers from china can get.
Im pretty intrested in bulk buying tubes. Maybe we can set up a group buy later on.

You can get $2 tubes from PricePoint:

That's cheaper than 40 tubes for $100. The downside is that they only come in standard valve lengths, and all of us fixsters need super duper long valves to clear our deep bling street cred rims.

Like said above, patch your own tubes!!! You don't even need a patch kit... if you're actually on the cheap, all you would need is a donor tube (preferably that's unsalvageable after a blow out or something) and some real rubber cement (not elmers!). Just cut a circular shaped patch and roughen up the bottom of the patch and apply it like you would do with a real patch....

I hate patching tubes, I never do it. I keep all my punctures in a bucket and give them to Boy Scouts when they come around.

I've been patching the crap out of everything. But when people come over they always buy the patches and its alot easier and less time consoming to sell out tubes that are 20 dollars for 10 then patches for 5 dollars.
and its just nasty to patch, And easy to just use new tubes.

They come by and take them (for free) and patch them for themselves. Then they have free spares when they go on their bike trips. My way to give back to the community sorta. And I usually give them patch kits for free too.
