Inner tubes that do NOT have a removable core

[vickster]

Have a removable core that is driving me mad, deflation caused me grief last night Just doesn't want to tighten enough to be airtight
What recommendations for decent qualify fixed core tubes for 25-28mm tyres please (I know Continental and Vittoria are offenders in this respect).
Thanks!

I think you may have to go for schraeder valves if you want that. I'm not sure there are any manufacturers left who make presta valves without removable cores.

well I can't go to Schrader with 5 bikes which use Presta

There must be some? Halfords? Decathlon even? I don't think my old Michelin ones did

I think this is poppycock.
Before wiggle's demise I used to buy theirs, which didn't have removeable cores and I think decathlon are the same. Is Fat Mike still selling ex wiggle stock?
Havent bought any for while, the shed is quite well stocked and often used as a purchase to get to free shipping on something else.

I can't remember where mine came from (I think I have a breeding population) but some do and some don't. I think you're going to have to go to a shop, open some boxes and check.

Some wheels won't take a schraeder without some drilling; rather you than me!

or ring up the retailer and ask them. You love a chat with the lads from Spa @vickster

Never had an issue with Decathlon or Vittoria unscrewing. Continental, though, terrible.

I have to do that with my 26" MTB rims - they only come in presta.

They sell Schwalbe. I have one of these at the ready to replace the duff one...wish me luck.

If I call Spa, I'll end up ordering the bike I'm resisting!

Like Fossy, I've only ever had problem with Continental tubes, never with any other brand.

I think this one is Schwalbe, will see when I remove.

Evans only sell Specialized it seems now in 700c...used to have no end of issues with those in the past

Check out Vavert tubes on Amazon. Usually lots of deals. Been buying them for years now with no problems with with cores or failures.

Finger-tight isn't tight enough. When tightened with a tool I've never had a problem.
