Review by Kangaroo62Not worth the extra moneyby Kangaroo62Mid-AtlanticI bought 3 of these expensive inner tubes due to their claimed puncture resistance. One still suffered a puncture. One had an air leak at the valve not fixable by tightening. The third has lasted a few weeks ok. No way are they worth it.

Review by AnonymousVery light and good quality tube.by AnonymousCasual CyclistTennesseeI can carry two of these at about the same weight as one regular tube. I have had to install one of these on the side of the road and use a stem extension. Worked great. The valve is removable. The ride isn't bad. The tube is pricey but not that bad compared to other weight saving options.

Review by TeeDefinitely feel a difference (mentally?)!by TeeCycling EnthusiastSGNot sure these should cost so much but the ride quality feels better from the regular tubes. Hard to describe. How do you tell if its faster? But 1500km on the road with them and no issues so far.

Review by AnonymousLightweight, low rolling resistance and very puncture resistant. Ideal!by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastMarylandI use these with training wheels/tires for winter riding because I do not want to flat (they are very puncture resistant). I use them with lightweight climbing wheels because they are so light. And I use them with medium depth aero wheels because I want to go fast and these are low rolling resistance.

Review by DaveSo far I like these tubes. No flats and they are much lighter than butyl tubes.by DaveCycling EnthusiastMinnesotaI have not had any flats with these tubes thus far. They seem to roll a bit faster than regular butyl tubes but it is hard to compare. They are lighter. They also seem to hold air longer than other tubes.

Review by DavidFYou can still get a flat, but at least these Aerothans are expensive and currently irrepairableby DavidFCycling EnthusiastSan Francisco peninsulaI blew out an Aerothan on a steep decent when I hit a rock. It just popped and deflated instantly. No tire damage (Conti Grand Prix 5Ks). Aerothans may be puncture resistant, but they are definitely not impact resistant. Don't know when I can repair it since the required Schwalbe patch kit is currently unavailable.

Review by dtsloangood, but...by dtsloanFresnoThe tubes are very light, install easily, and provide a great ride.
However, two of six I bought failed right out of the box, just don't hold air. Another had the valve easily damaged when removing a pump head.
I think they need further development.

Review by Al AbbottAerothan experienceby Al AbbottPasadena, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I replaced a latex tube with an aerothan tube on my road bike that has continental 5000 25 tires. Aerothan is easy to mount and I can not detect any difference in ride quality. The only difference I detect is the aerothan holds air longer like a butyl tube. No flats in 300 miles.

Review by mjg1231Light Strong Tube for Emergency Useby mjg1231Cycling EnthusiastSunnyvaleI run tubeless so keep this tube in my saddle bag, protected from other items. I have had regular tubes develop leaks when stored similarly. I have many ways to fix a flat (glue patch, sealant, 'dart', 'boot', tube). This tube is much smaller, lighter and more rugged. I've been stuck before so no more chances. Pricey but worth the peace of mind.

Review by Dougnice rideby DougFresno, Ca4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Sure, they are expensive, and you can't patch them. Can't use sealant, either.
But, they significantly improve ride quality - I've never seen anything make such a difference.
They are very small and light to pack for spares.
Easy to install, keep their shape with slight inflation, and less likely to pinch.
I haven't seen that they retain air better.
I think this may be the future of inner tubes.

Review by dan in denverlight tube but lousy valvesby dan in denverCycling Enthusiastdenver Colorado10 of 14 customers found this review helpful.installed in my conti 5000's . after inflating 7 times -screwing pump head and off-leaking out of the plastic valve stem. stripped internal threads . valve stems are typically steel or brass for a reason- they can take multiple
inflations with out concern. thats unfortunate because they ride beautiful.

Review by AnonymousVery lightby AnonymousCycling Enthusiast3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.installed in a 42c gravel tire, one tube is holding air fine, the other leaks from the stem and is flat in 4 days. Very light, seems to allow the tire to squish and move on terrain in a comfortable mannerthat is slightly more noticeable compared to butyl tubes.

Review by xzarteriusNice but the price is a bit too muchby xzarteriusCompetitive RacerSparks, NVOverall I give it a 4 start rating. They don't leak air any worse than a butyl tube and are much easier to mount even on tubeless rims than any other tubes I've tried. A noticeable difference in weight when riding and out of around 1000 miles of usage I did have one flat with a small wire going through my Conti- Gator hardshell and through this tube which surprised me. My biggest gripe are the short valve lengths which limit your rim depth to around 32mm's. They are also made of plastic and seem a bit weak for such pricey tubes. That brings me to my next biggest gripe- the cost. If these were $15 I wouldn't complain at all by $30 is a bit much for these.

Review by MPHGreat Alternative to Latexby MPHCompetitive RacerDCOffers great rolling resistance similar to latex, but can be used on rim brakes without worrying about the amount of heat build up. No problems except for availability!

Review by AnonymousI will not buy againby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSalem Oregon1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Did a Century ride and got two rear tire flats. Purchased 3 tubes so that I would have a spare. The stem is plastic and can cross thread very easy, even just using your fingers.
