Those are not the same tubes that Coker sent me for my American Classics. The valve stem is an inch longer than the one I use.

These are really heavy tubes. 3lbs each with very, very long stems. However metal stems are on special for the handy man (or Coker might have to do it?), brass or nickel:

Why would they think that anyone would pay over $71 for a tube (the original price)? The sale price just indicates that they were trying to scalp us. The sale price is still too high. Or am I living in the past?

The "Correct" size tubes show weight at 3 lbs also. But I think that may be shipping weight.

You're living in the past. Look at the price of tubes with other regular suppliers, the current Coker sale price is the best deal at the moment.

Now, now. They go with the 478 bucks or so tyres, of course.

The heavy tubes are about 3.6 lbs in the old rods and poles scale.
