    Inner tubes in England?

    Before I went to the states at the start of the month I had ordered some parts, tubes among them, from Bike Bandit. The order was delayed so it never arrived in time, and now after the package spent 26 days crossing the States (I am sorry but you guys have the most appalling postal/delivery times outside of the third world) UPS delivered it to the wrong place. I know I will get my money back or my stuff eventually, but I need the tubes NOW!! So I am wondering if any of our English members can recommend a site over here that does tubes?

    Cheers

      I expect any of the Avon dealers would also do tubes...

        These guys are good and sell decent tubes (the type that stay up more than a week unlike a lot of the rubbish made out of recycled bottle tops on sale now).

          Thanks hampshirehog, tubes are ordered. I had found some on Ebay in Germany (cheaper), but when you mentioned quality quickly dropped the idea.

          @Kent - you may well be right. I was a little surprised myself. UPS said picked up on the 2nd and delivered on the 28th...
