VredesteinRace Road 700c Tube(Return to Product Page)

Great product, great company

No flats...done 500 miles. Work will with my Vredestein Gran Fondo Tires.

Installed a new tire and Vredestein tube at the same time. Forty-eight hours later, the tire was flat with no apparent puncture. Replaced the tube with a second Vredestein tube. Saved the first tube to search for the leak but couldn't locate it. Another forty-eight hours and the second tube was flat. I have been refilling it for the past ten days. Works fine except the air is consistently gone within forty-eight hours. I suspect the stems are faulty. Is this a common problem with these tubes or did I just get a bad batch?

Terrible purchased 2 both had flats within a week, both slow leaks from stem!

I have tried many different tubes but these seem to be more durable with the Vredestein Road Tire. Price was right too.

stem easily in a deep dish wheel. performs as expected

It's pretty much what everyone else has been saying about these tires. I've never been one to notice the subtleties in tires, but these are noticeably grippy. AND, no flats yet!

I can't sayfind anything phenomenal about this tube, but it seems to get the job done at the right price, so let's give it 4 stars...for 5 it really needs to stand out in some way.

The stem was the absolute perfect length for my carbon rims. It is made of quality materials and performed well. No issues at all.

Light weight

Long stem for deep dish wheels

Great price.

Vredestein precoats their tubes with powder. This helps because it won't stick to the tire and you're always in a hurry to swap out a tube when the whole group is waiting on you.

I have used Vredestein tires and tubes for at least 8 years and have absolutely no complaints. I don't think you can go wrong with any Vredestein products, and these tubes are no exception. They are on my road bike, my wife's road bike, AND our road tandem (Co-Motion Speedster Co-Pilot)

These are high quality tubes with and exceptionally smooth grippy stem. The tubes are not the lightest nor the heaviest, but are wonderful training tubes. I've used these tubes over the years as well as others and always come back to these. Easy to install, hard to pinch flat and the 60mm smooth stem works for my semi-deep carbon rims as well as my older box rims. I don't see any reason to buy any other tubes...Perfect..!!

I bought these tubes because I purchased a pair of Vredestein Fortezza tri-comps road tires.

I was a little concerned that the tubes I regularly use would in inferior to use with the tri-comps, because the

tri-comps carry a mininum PSI of 115 and a maximum of 175 PSI. These tubes are rated to carry a much higher

PSI than other tubes. Looking at them, they seem to be constructed much better than other tubes.

I only have about 500 mile on the tires and tubes so I can't realy say how they will perform. I haven't had any flats as yet. But, if I go back to another brand of tire, I think I will still use these tubes. I think the Belgiums

care more about the products they make than the Chinese do.

I use these because they have removable valve cores and i stick my Enve valve extenders on them. I like that they come coated with a light powder right out of the box (vs. powdering them manually) and this lets them breathe while inside of the tire which helps mounting and prevents pinches.

They are not as supple as some other butyl or latex tubes i've used (Vittoria latex tubes are like butter) but they're durable and easy to mount and I don't notice any negative rolling effects.

Bought for a set of 30mm deep wheels. The tube is ok but the stems are not 50mm. If you measure the rubber of the tube to the top of the plastic cap you get close to 50, but measured from the metal base (the part that counts) to the top of the valve you get 38mm. So if you dont need 50mm they are ok, but if you need a true 50 look elsewhere.

The main reason I like these is they are very easy to patch. No seams, no lettering, nothing that can make patching a challenge. The value rating of kind of pricey is because longevity is problematic due to the unreliable vulcanization of the stem to the tube. The vulcanization issue causes leaks and they are very difficult to patch. Therefore they are discarded even when there's plenty of life in them. Thus the reason they costs more.

Leaks occur at the point of vulcanization of the rubber part of the stem to tube and right at the metal stem.

I am now trying Michelin seamless tubes. No seams but there is lettering on them. No verdict yet.

Road riding. Good rubber, good valves, another fine product from Vredestein.

These tubes are great value for the money. I've used these for several years, and the quality has always been very good. They are better than the Continentals that are pretty good quality but are thicker (and heavier), and the prices reflect that.

Valves failed on 3 out of the 4 I bought. If you look at the valve stem (even in the photo here on the product page) you'll see it looks like it was soldered in a back alley. Maybe it was, because the valve core jammed on two of mine, and the third failed tube wouldn't hold air from the start.
