  1. i have a slow puncture in the front wheel of my bike, i have very skinny wheels/tyres, my nearest "bike shop" is a car accesory shop !!!! LOL, anyway, i mentioned i need a skinny tube for a 25 inch wheel, he politely said thats a bit old, we dont stock that size, IS IT really THAT BAD ?????? perhaps if i went to a proper bike shop, like "Cycle King" they would have them in stock or could get them.

    i dont use my bike much, perhaps an hour a week, every week, the (original) tyres have got the White Wall part almost completely perished and crumbled off so it is impossible to read what the tyre size actually is.

    mind you if i got a new bike i would use it much more LOL.

    if it means anything to anyone it is Peugot Iseran model

    the choice of new bikes is amazing, i could spare about £100 to £150 but the makers names at this price seem to be very "cheap and nasty"

  2. forget all that twaddle above, i obviously didnt know what i was talking about, the bike has got standard 28" wheels, 700C, i think they are called !!!!!

  3. 700c is the de facto standard now for road bikes and you can buy a pack of 5 tubes mail order including P&P for less than a tenner at www.bicyclerubber.com
