[QUOTE="oexing, post: 122359, member: 1493"] I have an new old stock Metzeler inner tube not made in China, always got common brands of inner tubes like Michelin at least. Only one knurled nut on the Metzeler plus the plastic cap but this is another discussion. But I cannot tell why or which type loses more or less air in storage. Some do it quicker , some not so. Maybe some valves are to blame but I would not think the brand of inner tube to be the reason for punctures. More like sloppy tire fitting, no talcum used, some gravel included etc. . So be extra careful when a tire job is done and maybe add paint marks at the tire and rim like in aviation to see any tire creep from starting, no big deal this and done in a second. No tire holders for me anyway - but then, no old rims either. Vic [ATTACH type="full"]35328[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
