I'm looking for new heavy tubes. Years ago I used to use Moose tubes but can't seem to find anything as heavy they used to make. Lately all the tubes I've bought just seem like regular weight. So anyone using anything they think is worthy of being called a HEAVY tube?

+2 on the Bridgestones. I have also used Fly UHD tubes and they seemed to be the thickest of the bunch, but I haven't been able to find them in quite a while. My experience with UHD tubes is that they all perform well, as long as they are UHD, not just HD.

No way. The MSR's arent that thick (like 3mm). What you want is 4mm thick tubes. Fly Racing comes to mind but other brands are available too. Just check the box for the tube thickness. Only 4mm for me..:thumbsup:

Well looks like a toss up between MSR Ultra Heavy Duty tubes and Bridgestone Ultra Heavy Duty tubes then. I really liked the Moose tubes but I can't seem to find them around here, D1k where you getting yours from? Thanks.
