At first I worried about puncture risk given light weight, but have had no problems. Quality tube at a good price.

Very light, but I worry about the tube thickness, so only use on my climbing bikes.

Paired these tubes with 700x23mm Conti 4000s tires, the combination is mounted on HED Ardennes FR clinchers and I'm a happy man. Great ride, good road feel, finishing the rides feeling fresh and so far No flats! I would recommend this set up to a friend.

For a Butyl tube, can�t beat it.

Not the absolute lightest tube you can get. But these are light enough to be used on your lightweight project but used in most road conditions. They are durable, easy to pack in a small toolbag , and aren�t expensive. These have been my go to for many years and will not switch unless I decide to dive into TPU tubes. But I�m good with these until then.

I have these mounted inside my Conti GP5000s and they have held up perfectly over the last 452.7 miles (when I installed them with my new tires). They are a solid product, light, compact, and thus easy to carry. I always have 3 tubes on me because I ride long distances every week, and you never know when a friend is going to need a tube. They hold air perfectly. After a 68+ mile ride today I checked the pressure when I got home. The pressure was still just above 90 PSI as I had inflated it before I left my home.

I like these lightweight tubes, they hold air really well and are not prone to punctures like many lightweight tubes out there.

Use these tubes in a racing or training application. They have a great feel, and conti makes their tubes without seams which makes patching a breeze.

This is my go to road tube, its light weight and a good deal when on sale. I might get 1 or 2 flats a year but usually can patch it and lasts. I would recommend this tube for road riding but be sure to bring glueless patches with you.

Tube failed quickly. I know I didn't pinch it on installation, because it went on entirely without tools, using just the heel of my hands, AND it was slightly inflated and I was really careful. Plus, when it went flat in a few days, the problem turned out to be a pinhole on a flashing line with no sign of a crease. I think that's close to 100% chance that it was a manufacturing defect.

I've also noticed that both tires are losing air slowly (bad tube replaced), and they're only a few weeks old.

These tubes went on with brand-new Michelin racing tires, by the way, and rims and spoke tape were checked carefully before installation.

I had no problems installing these tubes, and so far about 1500 trouble free miles on them. To insure no twists or pinches or other seating problems, after installation I always pump my tires up to 20-40 psi initially, then deflate them all the way to let the tubes resettle naturally on the rim and within the tire casing. I then pump them up to full pressure. This seems to work for me as a standard practice. For backstory, I have new 700x23 continental 5000 tires on a Giant TCR with with Easton aluminum rims with 20K miles (on the bike and rims), and I'm about 160lb rider (on a good day). Between rides (every day or two) these tubes may lose a couple of psi, but certainly not much. Before every ride I inflate the rears to 120psi and the fronts to 115psi. I know this is high by most peoples standards, but I have ridden thousands of miles, hitting occasional potholes and road debris, with essentially zero flats, no broken spokes, by following these simple procedures. I honestly can't remember the last time I got a flat, and so far (1500 miles) these tubes don't disappoint.

I have Zipp 404 NSW wheels. These are the only tubes that fit without valve extenders. I ordered the the 80mm length and they work great with my 58mm rims.

I had been an exclusive Michelin tube person but their longest tube is 60 mm and it doesnt work with my 404s.

It is really nice not to have to bother with valve extenders.
