dpeeler Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just bought a set of new 700 x 17 tires but not tubes! Was told that the long stems - metal or rubber are out of stock with no expected date?? Checked with both Lucas and Universal with no luck. How can this be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 They're all Coker now so if one is out, they'll all be out. Maybe a truck tube supplier can help? I now buy most of my tubes from a truck shop at the end of my street. Somewhat heavier than the Coker stuff. I don't know if they will have correct metal stems, but I bet they can get long rubber stems or maybe even new tubes with long stems on them. I prefer those to the glue-on ones that Coker sells, which have a pretty high failure rate. Truck tubes are available in a lot of sizes that are pretty close to old car sizes.

dpeeler Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Thanks Matt - I'll give the local truck tire store a call. BTW, I understood Coker and Universal were the same but is Lucas in the family too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
