Cool tubes for 19" tyres

People here have mentioned that Brattons's 19" tubes are the ones to buy. Are Coker's tubes the same ones as Bratton's? Anyone use the Coker 19" tube?

I bought radial, tubes for my Coker excelsior Stahl radials from Burts. They seem to be good and others recommend them. 550 x 19 tyres.
Have about 6000 miles on them. They may well be Cokers tubes because Steve had to get the tires in specially for me because he was not stocking them at the time.

Haven't tried them yet, but these are big and bulky and heavy. Bought before the price rise from Jegs. Should be good for 149 mph or so.

More than enough rubber for a days outing.

Apart from being expensive their stem seems too long at 3-5/8"

Yes, you can pay even more for metal stems, I gather, from Coker.

The price seems to vary hugely on tyre size, but the listed weight of 3 lbs seems to be consistent.

Hugely cheaper, also Hartford brand bias/radial and same listed weight.

Ya pays your money and takes your chances...
