Tubes shortage on online shops

[sar.the.psyco]

I m in dire need of 700x35 tubes (sharader valve) for my commuter normal btwin ones suffice! All online shops are out of stock and the LBS here is charging me 350bucks for a single ACT110 tube (by giving some cock and bull story about original part). Even the decathlon site says out of stock

What are my options now before I head to Evans CRC etc??

Speak to rajesh girdhar in delhi. His cyclofit store had a handful of 32-35 width tubes a month back.

Surendra cycles should have Kenda in stock. Do you want me to check?

Guys thanks for your help, i will speak with the blore LBSes hopefully they should have some. Shipping from Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi seems like desperate measures at the moment.

Yes Surender's are having quite a few in stock. Cost 200 per peice
Even I was also searching quite a few online shops for cost less than that but seems post budget no one is ordering!

Apprantly none of the BSA Go outlets carry spares for the cycles they sell. The prime TnT shop in Madras (one in Express Avenue) does not stocks tubes but sells all bikes!! They have to place an order with TI cycles to get tubes to the store!

@vipul - even decathlon does not have them, if mouse-e has to order it from decathlon then pretty sure they would have it either!

Check with brick & mortar stores with online presence - they will likely stock these for the bikes they sell - TBA, Wheelsport, BOTS?
Some of the BSA Go ones do maintain stocks...they seem to have a weird distribution system with stocks maintenance/replenishment decided by few in HO...some stuff I was told when checking spares for my foldman sometime back.

Seriously, what's with the shortage?!

I'm looking for presta tubes (to go on 700x32c) too; no one seems to have them in stock.

Not TBA, not WheelSports...none of the shops in Chennai either.

Any luck with your hunt, SAR?

"you know who"'s shop has it here but I am not paying 350rs for a tube!!

have not tried the Trek outlets in madras, am yet to try BOTS
