Ouch! I wonder what the change in cost is due to? Can you order it directly from Coker and did the price go up if you order it from them?

From archive.org, the old price was $15.50

I have two extra Coker tubes on hand. Items like Coker tubes that occasionally go out of stock are things I tend to keep on hand just in case.

I was going to order a spare, just to have it around, but I think I’ll hold off. I have no idea why, I was just buying to parts when I noticed that.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’d pay a buck an inch.

$15.50 Direct from coker.

I wonder if it’s a type on uni.com …or if they’re sourcing them from someone other than Coker.

im paying 40 for mine here in australia. 170 for the TA tyre and 100 for a steel rim. not sure how that compares to you guys.

AUD, right? if so, that’s like $31 for tube, $133 for tire, and $78 for rim.

this belongs in Rec.Sport, and certainly we don’t need TWO threads with this same title…

Time to go tubeless :stuck_out_tongue:

just buy two smaller tubes, cut them both in half and tape them together and you have one great big tube at half the cost.

Are you serious?!
Please say your joking!

i am of course i forgot to put the :smiley: in

I have one in my garage. Problem is, I need a new tire!

Isn’t this where putting the 29er tube comes in?

I’m actualy thinking of trying that just for weight savings before/if I ever get an airfoil rim (having the coker tire and all makes me wonder if I will be able to find a rim without an x or not)

Can you put a 29er tube on a steel rim?
