I still think this is a worthwhile deal - if I run out of inner tubes I don't think I'll be thinking "great, it's 40p cheaper on wiggle but I can't ride for the next 3 days", whereas I can pop down to Halfords. I know I should either stock up or go tubular....

Where's the cheapest for 27.5? My tyres are 2.25 wide.

I need an inner tube, but I have an old bike. It's wheel diameter is 28 and its a thin profile tyre. I'm confused with all these measurements.
Apparently they don't price-match either eBay or Amazon, so good to keep that in mind. Although worth a try! You require taking print-screens. Could easily photoshop? Haha. Last time I went they didn't even do any online checks, just went with my word and print screens as proof of price.

Am I missing something, the Continental Road 700x18-25c 42mm Valve Inner Tube are £3.90 each for a bundle of 5. Halfords are £2.99 each?

Don't forget to buy a hi-viz top at the same time. Be seen, be safe, be one of the 3% of road cyclists that use their brain and understand that it's important to be easily seen

You can't see a cyclist unless they are wearing a hi-viz top? Sounds like you should give up driving!

As Forrest Gump says "stupid is as stupid does".
The stupidity of many road cyclists really does astound me.
There's a reason why the police, lorry drivers, council workers, etc wear hi-viz when working near roads. Even cars now have hi-viz led daylights to be more easily seen but hey, don't let common sense get in the way of your bravado, or is it pig-headedness ?
Just use a highlighter pen on a page of type, it's no coincidence that everyone will see the highlighted word first.
Sadly cycling accidents on roads will continue to rise in the mean time.
Just proves that you're wrong. It's also about motorcyclists. i.e Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki.
As I said, pig-ignorant. Phone your local council and ask them why their binmen and road workers wear fluorescent clothing, I wonder what they'll say ?
Then you can tell them that they're wrong :smile:

For the last two years I've been getting these for £1.99. It's cheap for Halfords, but people who know bikes know not to go there for their gear unless they're pressed for time.
