Good online source for bicycle tires and inner tubes? - d4 - 09-13-2020
This is for a kid's 20" bmx style bike from a big box store.
Is there a good online source for bicycle tires and inner tubes? Or just get what's available at Target and Walmart?

I bought some on amazon. I heard there is a shortage right now, but I didn't check myself.
edit: the tube is still in stock:

This is the kind of thing I buy online from Walmart for immediate pickup at the store. Walk in, pickup, walk out.

Yeah. Especially since I have time today (weekend) to look at it. Walmart has $4.96 Bell 20" tube. $14.96 Bell 20" tire. Grrrr... ok fine. I'll sully myself.

Biketiresdirect.com
Lots of bike things are really hard to come by right now; not sure if kids bikes are affected in the same way. Last week, biketiresdirect didn't have any 26x2.00 mountain bike tires. I bought some using Amazon Prime but they kept delaying the shipping date. I spotted some similar tires on eBay and grabbed them. They arrived the same day as the ones from Amazon, but my local bike shop was very happy to take them off my hands.

I used to use Nashbar.com

Alas, Nashbar has gone the way of Montgomery Ward. Out of business, but name resurrected by a Chinese retailer.
