I need new inner tubes for my trike (quality)

Postby nickjaxe » Tue May 08, 2012 7:46 pm

I need to replace the 3 inner tubes in my trike wheels 3.50x8, seem some on ebay described as road trailer tubes...I wonder if any of you guys know if the quality of inner tubes varies much or is an inner tube just an inner tube.

Nick.
What a nice feeling it is being part of such a nice group of people, {Microlighters}

Oi, you two! (janjacobs and John.com) have you noticed where Nick is located?
I know you were trying to help a fellow aviator but locating a tyre/tube supplier does not answer the question Nick asked........ :? :?

Grumpy....! Like Madman said, read the question before answering.
He's not looking for tubes from anyone on this website. He's asking a different question. Sheesh, I am the only one that understand this?
