Tubes How often should you change your bicycle tubes?

[Member 5549]

My Take is that the Tire is more important...
If you keep stuff away from the tube it will last a long time...
Kevlar tires with liners....
If the tubes are getting old and your taking the wheel off anyway.
slap some new tubes on and keep your old ones for a emergency spare.
That's my take on the tube issue ......

i think your best option is... since we all seem to be somewhat mechanically inclined.. check them once ina while.. if they look worn replace..

I bought kevlar tires, slime layer shield **** and "flat proof" inner tubes.. so if something goes.. its god telling me to die. haha

but again i still do check every now and then, especially when it sat over the winter

Cos much younger ppl than us(M & F) visit this website & from my experience once ppl start swearing it developes into a little kids slanging match to see who can out-do each other......nothing gets done.
