The Schwalbe 700c Presta Road Tube is an expertly crafted butyl tube designed for durability and reliability. Schwalbe understands that the key to a successful ride lies, fundamentally, on the shoulders of the tubes. Schwalbe's manufacture process creates an extremely pure rubber compound and includes testing and inspection of each and every tube to verify performance. The result is a high quality tube that retains more air over time, requiring less frequent inflation.

These seem fine, but I use a frame pump that screws onto the valve, and when unscrewing, the removable core comes with it. Nowhere that I see does the spec say that these have removable cores ....
I only bought these at a reduced price knowing I�ll need some in the future. Consistent 108 gr weight which is same as Conti Race tubes. I�m spoiled by my dwindling supply of 67 gr extra light Forte tubes that are no longer sold at Performance Bikes. Don�t know why no company can produce light tubes for a reasonably price like Forte did.
These lasted 2 months and about 500 miles, then both went flat from a leak overnight within 2 days of each other.
I found nothing poking through either tire, which I bought new at the same time as the tubes. I've been changing tubes for 25+ years, I don't get pinch flats. I'm used to getting several years and thousands of miles from a tube before I inevitably get an obvious puncture.
So It's always possible I installed them wrong, but just I can't believe I'd screw up both wheels, and for the first time in literally decades. I think these are garbage tubes. Schwalbe has a great reputation for tires (which is why I bought these), it might just be a bad batch, but this is the first and last time I ever buy their tubes.
had no problems with these tubes for many many miles. I had a pinch flat (not the fault of the tube). I patched it and used it for a spare. Later after installing this spare in a tire It held air for only a few hours. I found the cause was a small hole at the base of the presta valve where the tube is reinforced at the edge . Because of the location of this hole there was no way for it to have happened during installation. I checked my other Schwalbe tube with about the same mileage and age and found an identical problem developing at the same spot. I closely examined the wheel and found nothing to have caused this. It is curious that both of the tubes had the same issue in the same exact spot. I replaced the tube with another manufacturer and so far no problem. I love the Marathon tires but a bit leery about the tubes now.
This tube holds air very well. I hardly need to put any air in it which is quite surprising to me. On the rides, it has performed very well and I got only one puncture all these times. You only need to be careful to make sure valve core is tight. I feel out of the box, the valve core can be tighter. Overall happy and recommend it.
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.
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 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.
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.
Kinda like TP, you'll pretty much always need it. I always keep a few extra tubes in my bike toolbox, well, because it's easier and in my opinion, better to replace flats with new tubes. I see it as cheap insurance. These don't disappoint and since after installing with my new tires they have held the air pressure nicely. I waited to review these until they've been installed for awhile and as I stated, they don't disappoint. I would and will buy again
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.
