Description

Get tough.

Kenda's Thorn Resistant Tubes are the ultimate in puncture resistance. With 3.5mm of butyl on the tread side and 1mm on the top side, these tubes blow standard weight tubes (with 0.87mm of butyl) out of the water in terms of protection from thorns and glass. This 27" x 1 1/8"-1 1/4" size (28/32-630 ISO) fits many older road bikes. Schrader valve.

If you are a urban rider and glass, nails and bad streets are a constant nemesis, than this is the inner tube for you. I opened the 2014 season by blowing or puncturing 4 tubes in a two week span. Frustrated I ordered the Kenda Thorn Resistant Road Tubes, and bye, bye, blow outs. These tubes are bullet proof I run them on my back up bike at around 100 psi with zero issues over the same roads that drove me to tears. You give up some weight but it's worth every ounce. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Kenda Thorn Resitant solved a big problem
rating

2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.

I live in Hemet Ca. My vintage Schwinn requires 85-90 PSI. Sheep's Head Thorns are everywhere here. I can't count the number of times my "good times" were cut short with needle like punctures. Since I switched to the 27"- 1 1/8" Kenda Thorn Resistant Tubes "not available at retail bike shops" I haven't had a problem since. HEADS UP: Add 1.5 oz of Stan's No Tubes for good measure. Stan's works equally as well weather you've running tubeless or tub tires. Sincerely

Very nice tube's

by Dave

These tube's are very thick. Easy to install. My hope is that they hold air longer than average tube's. I have my doubts that any tire or tube will deflect a nail or thorn.

These are tough tubes. They are thicker and heavier than your traditional tube. I have not really noticed the tubes slowing me, as previously mentioned by others. They will help in avoiding flats i think

Read the reviews and bought two. First impression gee these things don't even need air! Installed, on a 2013 Cannondale Synapse, along with two new Gatorskins and it was like riding the ole cruiser. My normal riding speed is around 15.5 to 16.5 mph and was doing well to get 12.5mph. Top end was 17 and normally can get 22 mph!

Changed out the Kenda's for the old tubes and went right back to my normal speeds, even with the Gatorskins.

These tubes are heavier and stiffer than I was expecting, but do give confidence they'll resist minor punctures.

STEM FAILED

I installed these on an old Ross touring bike. The tubes fit fine and worked well for about 6 months. I went to check the tire pressure before heading out for a ride and noticed a bulge near the base of the stem on one of tires. The bulge grew in size as I tried to bring the pressure up with a hand pump. The stem failed even though I was well below the recommended tire pressure. It's the first time I have ever encountered this issue.

After changing my mountain bike tubes and tires I thought I'd tackle the road bike. That turned out to be a horse of a different color and they were very difficult to get on and off. I believe I wound up pinching the tube and causing it to leak. My fault only.

Thick but failed prematurely

The tube was much thicker than a conventional tube, and the wall thickness seemed to be uniform. Unfortunately, the valve stem patch came unglued from the tube.

i bought two of these tubes back when i first got my bike, its an older bike from the 70's got it used. i splurged on these tubes along with the thorn resistant tires for the 27 wheels they also sell on this site and only now am, after a year and a half, nearly 2 years of riding constantly. (i'm talkin like 20 or more miles a day sometimes) and i mean riding, off road, off curbs, potholes, uneven roads, caliche. i wouldn't use anything else.

Thought I would try to see if I could minimize punctures. Don't like the ride, makes the tire sidewall very stiff. Feels like a high inertia steel wheel with these tubes. Won't use them again - would rather have the flats.
