Default Bulk Tubes?

Ok... I just realized almost all my extra/spare tubes are Schraeder and I need more Presta tubes for one of my bikes...

I dont want to drill my rims so i wanted to ask if anyone knows a place where we can pitch in and buy a bunch of tubes and get them alot cheaper than $3-5 a piece??

I know most of you run tubeless, but I still use tubes....

Let me know

You don't need to drill your rims, the presta valves easily fit into the same holes where your shreader valves are right now.

I think Jenson's had some good deal on tubes, you may want to check their website.

Well my enduro has Presta rims, I have a bunch of Shraeder tubes... they need to be drillled to be used with shraeber tubes... so since one bike is Shraeder and my other is Presta, I just want to stock up on Presta tubes

Do you go through a lot of tubes?

I maybe get a couple of flats a year and I use the lightest tubes I can find...Maxxis Fly Weights. I use 26 inch Fly Weights on my 29 inch wheels and rarely get flats. My last flat was because I got lazy and let the pressure in my front tire drop to below 22 lbs and pinchflatted. Fly Weights are crazy thin.

Now that I have jinxed myself I better see what shape the tubes in my Camelback are in.
