Just come from shopping with the missus, managed to sneak the saddle and stand pump into her basket, noticed they had some inner tubes,2 for Β£2.99, now as i am a newcomer to these narrow wheels and tyres, these inner tube sizes were marked in inches, so i was wondering has any body seen these tubes, any good and what size would i need, no size maked on the tyres except for 700, mate at work recons that they are 23m, i am going to replace them with 25m Gatorskins before the Sportive in 45 days time, so i have a choice, get tubes when i buy tyres or could i get one of these specials to go in the saddle bag, would love to know your ideas.
OMIL Mel.

My 25m tyres are fitted with 700x18--25 inner tubes last set of tubes picked at decathlon, most of the others I got locally at Halfords they do quite a good deal when you buy 5 well they used to...

Cheers Robert, i have a British Cycling membership so should get at least 10% discount, 5 at a time? you must have some dodgy road surfaces your neck of the woods.
Just been looking on Decathlons site and saw some tubes with sizes marked on the label, 700x19->23, 28"x 19->23, and ERTO 19/23-622, i reckon that they be the sort i might need, but i bow to the collective wisdom out there.

OMIL Mel. The twin pack for Β£2.99 used to be 19/23mm and still shows that in the picture but they're now 19/25mm so will be fine for both your current and new tyres.

Thank you Chas, just hope the local riders club, "East Coast Riders", do not clear the lot up by tomorrow morning.

Curse's foiled again Mutley, inner tubes at Lidl have American valves and their size 28" is marked on the box as a 28/47 tube, which would be like Big Daddy getting into a medium bibshorts, perish that thought, ah well back to the drawing board.
Nice day to try Lidl's saddle out though, 15 easy miles, i think it is a bit better than the one that came with T3, not the original T3 saddle of course.
