HD Tubes for 17 inch rear - X Country

[modman]

I would like a heavy duty rear 17 inch tube for my X Country. I'd like 17 inch (Rather than cramming in an 18 inch) also suggestions on where to find them, I've searched a fair bit and can't see much but I may be missing the obvious.

Can't help with suppliers but probably any enduro specialists.

I have heard that if you do a lot of high speed road miles they can overheat.

Cambrian tyres supply HD inner tubes, though they won't deal with the public, I have in the past ordered 17 inch tubes from them which were super thick, though they were not cheap even to the trade

there are claimed HD ones on Ebay, but I haven't any experience of them!

Thanks Timpo, exactly what I am after!

Thanks for the other replies as well.

Maybe line the tyre with an old tube with the valve removed and cut along the inner edge
