I like these tubes. They are lightweight and strong. Solved my blowout problems and lightened the wheels a touch. I ride rough roads. Not a problem.

Long valve stem for my deep wheels
Review by CLEbiker
having had pinch flats on long rides before, we are hyper vigilant about checking our tire pressure before starting out on our tandem. these tubes so far seem to deliver reliably- with less air pressure loss when we check.

I needed to get new tubes... The decision was simple... Always go for that which works.
Review by LKN Biker
I bought two of these tubes a little over a year ago for my 2004 Trek7700 hybrid bicycle. I use the bicycle three or four times a week. The tubes hold pressure very well, I give my tires a squeeze test before each ride and have never noticed a drop in pressure. My only gauge is on my floor pump and I have never noticed a drop in pressure there either although this isn’t a very accurate measurement.
My favorite feature is the clear dust cap on the valve stem, very classy looking. I’d get these again.

The tube seems to be very well constructed and my understanding is that is it made from recycled products.

First time converting from 25cm to 28cm tube so far it�s been good. I did the Seattle to Portland ride and it did what I expected to do. I would recommend this tube.

I bought these tubes to use with replacement tires purchased at the same time. The first thing I noticed was how long the valve stem was relative to the tubes I was replacing. My fault for not checking the length prior to purchase since I had assumed this was a fairly standard measurement. The second thing I noticed was they didn't fit well in the rim. The stem is not threaded its entire length which meant the nut could not be tightened down to the rim. I used a second nut on the inside but this means a good portion of the stem is pushing into the tube and tire. This seems to work but I wonder if this will result in a blow out or puncture. A back injury has prevented me for any serious road testing to date.

Very good quality tubes

Tubes are usually just tubes. Boring hoops of butyl rubber with a valve in it. The Schwalbe tube has the best designed valve I've seen in ~30 years of riding Presta valved bikes. It seems to be such a simple thing, but the taper at the base should help reduce the risk of having the valve rip out of the tube. I haven't been able to tell if it will last very long, but if the rest of the tube is as well designed and built as the valve, it should be a good one.

I have used many different brands of bike tubes over the years. These are at the top of my list for overall quality and they do hold air pressure for longer that other tubes I�ve used.

I use these tubes for my road bike. I like the weight and feel of the material
Review by Jim
I have found that the Schwalbe tubes are the most dependable.
Review by Flpirate
I can definitely depend on these tubes. I travel lots of long miles and know I'm okay with these tubes.
Review by VeloBMC
Reviewing a butyl tube, is kind of like rating toilet paper. When it is better than average, it is noticeable! When I opened these tubes, I definitely noticed some attention to detail that other tubes do not include. So far, they are holding up well....
Review by CommuterCurt
Well my headline is an attempt at humor. The tubes do what they are supposed to do, keep my tires full of air. If Schwalbe tubes are as tough as their marathon tires, then these would be awesome. I honestly lose of what brand of tube I'm looking at while I fix a flat. The tire itself is the number one defender of the integrity against a flat.
Review by ClimateProf
These are great all-around tubes, and I've had only positive outcomes with them. A bit more costly than some others, but price is discounted if you buy them with tires.
Review by Tim
Very good quality rubber and they fit multiple size tires. Best tubes I have ever used in 20 years of commuting.
Review by GeneK
Good quality tube for my 700x38C hybrid tires. Better construction than the cheaper mass market tubes, especially in the Presta valve. Seems to hold air pressure well between rides.

I like Schwalbe products. This is the reason why I purchased this tube. You won't be disappointed.
