i just got a flat tire last night. i just want to replace the inner tube instead of messing around with that tire patch stuff. i think this would be the best thing to do. i seen at a local debt. store an inner tube for a few bucks that would fit my bike. than at a local bike shop that has everything you could imagine for a bicycle the same size tube for more than 4 times the cost of the debt. store tube, but when i took them both out of the box, they look exactly the same. is there really any major difference between tube manufacturers as far a quality goes? or am i just paying a premium for a name, or just a inflated high markup?

Never had an issue with cheap tubes. Makes more sense if you are not going to mess with the patching thing.
Patching makes alot more sense,unless you are Donald Trump, and have bad hair.
