[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 172828, member: 5012"] Michelin tubes are probably the best tubes out there good quality material, the MX heavy version is not suitable for road bikes. The heavy duty MX are for low pressure use on trials and motocross machines. My tyre man will only fit the Michelin tubes which are designed for road use, he reckons the others mostly synthetic mix are no use I brought some Redwing HD ones down to him when last fitting tyres to my Rapide he threw them in the bin and fitted the Michelin tubes. He has forgotten more than I will ever know about tyres. My tyres stay hard another consideration is when leaving your cycle standing do not leave it in contact with a concrete floor insulate the contact patch by standing on rubber mats. Concrete floors suck the life out of your tyres and tubes. Al [/QUOTE]
