When the road is strewn with glass and debris, it seems impossible to ride without getting flats. No more with this Presta puncture resistant road tube!

I have been riding a pair for hundereds of miles and have not had a flat. I now only need a frame pump for other riders who haven't heard about these yet. I have raced in these a few times and I must admit that I can't tell the difference in weight and the ability t..." Read Full Review »

HEAVY but bullet-proof

"Previous reviewer is totally wrong about not noticing weight difference. Regular tubes are about 75g (Performance ultra light tubes) and this tube is 275g. That's a whopping 200g heavier per tire or 400g total. My average speed on my commutes dropped by approximately 1.5 mph with these heavier tubes. However, these tubes are bullet-proof. I swithced to these after getting two flats coming home, and I only ca..." Read Full Review »

"Make no mistake about it: these tubes come with a serious weight penalty. They're also very difficult to install with new tires, but if you commute like I do, they're worth it. The biggest plus is probably how much more life you can get out of your tires - small slices that would pop most tubes are …"  Read Full Review »

"These tubes do a great job for a commuter.

They do add 390 grams (0.859802 lbs) per set as compared to the Performance Ultra Light tubes.

Due to the less flexible nature and larger size of this tube, most people need tire levers to mount them. It's very hard to get enough room to pop the tire ba …"  Read Full Review »

"Hands down, an excellent tube for urban street riders.



I went through 4 tubes in one month at the beginning of the summer, switched to these and have had no flats for months.



I ride a 12 mile roundtrip commute to downtown Chicago daily and put an above average amount of stress on my bike. The …"  Read Full Review »
