Default Where can I get innertubes?

I Got a puncture the other day, andtook it to the garage to get a new tyre fitted, and they said that I need a new inner tube but they don't stock or get them in anymore.

So does anyone know where a good website where I can buy one from?

Cheers

Joe

Most tire store for sure.
Where is the puncture and be specific? If it is in the side wall, throw the tire away because it is no longer safe.
Might also look a a patch or boot repair as an option.

It's apparantly the valv, it has a slow leak and they told me to just get an innertube and they will fit it.

On a tubless tire if the valve leaks, you just replace the valve as they do when they install new tires.

After reading this whole thread I think I would be looking for a new place to have my tire work done. Standard practice when replacing a tire is to replace the valve as well. If they're suggesting that you install a tube because of a leaking valve they're idiots and shouldn't be working on anything other than bicycles.

I'm going to guess that he doesn't have a tubeless tire, if he's asking where to find a replacement inner tube. On inner tube wheels, the valve is integral to the tube itself.

On where to purchase... this site seems to cater to ATV and off-road type vehicles, but list a pretty extensive assortment of sizes of inner tube to choose from.

Tyre Inner Tubes, Quad Bike Tyres, ATV Tyres, Turf Tyres, Wheelbarrow Tyres, Ride On Lawn Mower Tyres, Golf Buggy Tyres, Sack Truck Tyres

Good luck.

I'm thinking that's a good guess.
If you think talk about inner tubes confuses some people, try talking about tire flaps. LOL
