went to the local store to pick up an inner tube for my glide 3 and i paid near 23$ CAD for the thing.

i should have checked ebay and amazon cause they are much cheaper online.  if anyone has ordered these online, please post your opinion about the quality of the tube you ordered.

im curious as to whether the quality is different (worse, same or better) than the store bought item.

a short web search produced the following:

I think it's supply and demand. There's not much demand for bent valve tubes.

BTW, that tube that you linked to might not work. Looks like a 90-degree valve (which many are). You need to be sure to order a tube with a shallower angle.
