Vredestein Race Latex Road Tube

Superior tube - removable valve cores are a plus for my deep carbon clinchers, making these tubes great for both low profile wheels and deep profile wheels. Over 1000 miles on the without a flat, or any issues. Best tube and a great price at Westernbikeworks -)

To the best of my knowledge this (along with Continental Supersonic) is the lightest road tube you can buy. The light weight is appreciated, however I haven't been able to discern any change in supplenessride quality compared to lightweight butyl tubes. They appear and feel fragile, but I haven't had a single problem or flat yet in nearly a thousand miles of PNW winter riding. I did use an abundance of caution in mounting them (extra talc, very careful alignment, inflate to 30ish psi then deflate before inflating all the way). I had to remove the rear tire and tube when I broke a spoke, and the tube looked horrible (discolored and uneven stretching) but I remounted and it's still working just fine. Also, I am using them in 25mm Schwalbe tires with no problems even though I was a little concerned since other retailers are selling what I believe to be the exact same tube, but recommending a max 23mm tire width.
