Best Bike tubes are...? Quote | Reply

I need to buy some bike tubes and since I don't have time to run to the LBS here I am.

(1) I need some good/decent tubes for my trainer; not sure why but my back tire tubes keep busting? Any good suggestions on tubes to buy for that?

(2) Also looking for racing tubes with long stems for my HED Jet 6/9 combo any good tubes you guys suggest with long stems? (Clincher)

your tubes are busting because something is wrong, either your installation, or your rim tape, or something sharp on the inside of your wheel.

for racing, latex tubes are the fastest, but proper install and solid rim tape are even more important with those

I think I have used all the brands of latex, and they all worked fine.
