How long do bike tubes last when stored in a dry, dark closet?

Submitted by RFranco on Mon, 09/09/2019 - 10:00am

I have a bag of bicycle tubes of various sizes that are probably 10+ years old. They are in their original boxes - never used obviously.

What is the lifetime of a bicycle tube? Are they still usable?

Thanks!!!

Membership

Hi - I am a long-time member of the club, and I have selected auto-renewal in connection with my membership. However, I have recently received multiple messages from the website threatening to cancel my membership, even though, I manually submitted payment.  I believe these messages are in error. Is there a person I can contact to help me sort this? It is both frustrating and annoying. 

Thank you.
