Latex tubes...which LBS in SA stocks them?

[travisza]

Hi,

 

Trying to get hold of some latex tubes for a road bike (not Tubolito). Can't find an LBS in JHB that stocks them....anyone bought from their LBS recently?

 

Edited to add:

I can buy online from Merlin Cycles...trying to support the locals first

I have looked for latex tubes before and had to import as there were none available locally.

 

Good to see Evobikes now has them available

These are also really cool

But can these work in 25c tyres?

What are the real world advantages of running latex tubes?

Buy yourself Tubolito tubes.

they are expensive, but worth it IMO
