What's the shelf-life of a spare tube?
Quote | Reply
Had a flat today, and my spare had a dry-rotted hole in it. I don't think I had the spare for that long, so I think it had sat around somewhere for a while before I bought it.

Anyone know how long those things are good for? FWIW, I live in a place where the climate's relatively dry and moderately warm.

Thanks.

I don't know, but I had the same thing happen to me recently with some tubes I had sitting around for three years. I kept them in my garage in Florida. Gee, I wonder why I had a problem.
