Long shot I know. Need a new inner tube, but wife is away and I'm without a car. Could do with one tomorrow (700x25). I'm within walking distance of big superstore Tesco and Asda. Anyone know if they sell inner tubes? I'm sure I saw some once but may be kidding myself....

Wilkos sell them if you have one close by.

Both sell basic bike stuff, I think ASDA sells bell branded, must be Halfords nearby?

Thanks, might be worth a look. Halfords about 5 miles away, bit of a trek with two toddlers! smile

If you don't have any luck - what's wrong with the tube that needs to be replaced? Can you tie a knot over the hole? Or if you have a big tear, can you cut it at the hole and knot the ends?

Hmmm.

Bit of a tricky one, this.

Can you give me a while to think about it?

They do sell 26” and 20” tubes, but as for 700c 25s, almost certainly not.
