Same here. My LBS used to stock Continentals, which worked great; I typically ran them for 3K-5K miles. Ever since they dropped the Contis and replaced them with Kenda/Q-Tubes, the stupid things blow all the time. I've been going out to RBWHQ for Contis for the last year, but I just noticed that the Rubenas are back in stock and so the Contis are gone. I haven't quite mustered the consumer will to spring for Schwalbes, but that's the logical next step. I'd been thinking of getting a pair or two of Challenge Strada Biancas from Wiggle, so that's a good opportunity to load up on Euro tubes for cheap.
I'm not sure who the OEM is for Bontrager or Novara (REI house label) tubes, but I assume they're also Kendas. Eccch.
