So any thoughts on the best overall regular 700c tubes? I buy them in bulk from various places. I have had Kenda, Conti. but never Michelin, seems they all probably should be about the same but are they?
Not looking for the lightest or I would go latex. Not looking for a boat anchor either but I guess standard 700c for 25mm road tires. I probably should try a latex tube, do they really make a different? No I hate changing flats on a ride so it they flat a lot more no go. Actually I am looking for the best quality in terms of flat resistance and values ect.

Deacon Mark, I have been using Continental "Race 28"s recently, and they seem to be OK. I recall that I was able to buy them on sale more cheaply than usual. I always wait for the sales on tubes before buying some. For awhile there I had a problem with repeated punctures, but it turned out to be a problem with the tire, that I never could figure out, that was doing it.

Victoria has tubes that fit 23mm to 28 mm Most other brands 23 mm to 25 mm and 28 - 32.

ever, plain vanilla tubes from bike shop seems fine.
No desire to try anything exotic, if I did be tubeless!
