Heavy Duty Tubes

Hi Guys, Sorry if this has been discussed to death, but im wanting to replace my rear 130/80 17" factory tube for a heavy duty one but i am struggling to find anything thats 'Heavy Duty' in 17". I already have the Michelin ultra heavy duty for the 21" front but the rear..... is proving really hard to get. Any advice ?

I bought front and rear off Ebay from Road and Race.

Rear IRC Heavy Duty Tube Ebay
Front IRC Heavy Duty Tube Ebay

I just recently did 439km in one day and all was dirt except for about 60km and had no problems at all. That was with a pair of Michilin T63 tyres fitted.

Heidenau ( http://www.reifenwerk-heidenau.de/ar...SCHLAeUCHE.htm) sells also heavy duty tubes. Their cross tubes (marked with "Cr.") have a thickniss of 2.5 - 3 mm.

Cheers
