Thanks RedSkywalker, that's the best deal on these for a very long time.

Thanks for that - I've just ordered some for my Wisper (on the basis that offers like that don't usually last long) for when I eventually need them. So far the supplied Kenda tyres have been fine.

The tubes may have valves which are too short for the Wisper rims, but it's still a bargain even if I don't use those.

I'll let you know when they get delivered. I haven't dealt with 'Cycles Direct' before.

Delivered today by Royal Mail. Cycles Direct had confirmed their dispatch by email on Wednesday. Two days from placing the order.

Hi

Did you order schrader inner tubes and will they fit the hole in the rim for the existing woods valve or does it need to be enlarged? Mine's an infamous 24-spoker Pro Connect!

I did order Schrader tubes, and they're the standard (Kenda) type, but I can't help you with advice on yours. I suspect they'd be OK, but Flecc may be able to give you a more definitive answer.

Yes, Schraeder and Woods valves have the same rim hole size.

Anyone else get the urge for a "Snickers" bar.
