My go to tubes. Never have issues with these tubes. Install easy. Ride them for 1,000's of km.
I put these on my single speed bike that I ride to work 3 days a week, it is 20 miles there and back. Its a mixture of bike paths and bike lanes on pretty busy streets. Have not got a flat since I put them on 3 weeks ago. Before I had bontrager tubes from the local bike shop before with a few flats every so often, guess I have had better luck with these.
been riding this tube with some 28mm Conti Grand Prix tires for over a month, no issues, forgiving, and no flats
Have been using them for 2000 miles, 1 flat, excellent tubes.
I paired these tubes with the Conti Grand Prix 4 Season tire and like them.
I don't really like presta valves but these function better than the other
brands I have had.
Nice lightweight tube. Great for the price!
Sturdy, long lasting
Conti seems to make the most dependable tube on the market. I have never had a bad one (which I cannot say for some of the competition). In addition to its durability, it is relatively light with a solid stem.
These tubes hold air. But all tubes are only as good as the tires protecting them. Read my other review on Continental GatorSkins. There is no substitute. In Conti we trust.
I've been using these tubes in Continental Gran Prix 4000 All Seasons, 4000S, and now 5000 tires for years. While they're not bombproof (what road tube is?), they provide a good balance of weight and puncture resistance, particularly when coupled with Conti tires. Available in a variety of stem lengths, they're my go-to road tube year round.
My only complaint is that the valve stem is threaded, but that's fairly minor. It's a good tube which holds air for several days easily before needing to be pumped up.
Great tube with my rig once up and running; I find it a little fussy to install because of its lightness -- easy to catch the tube between the tire bead and rim; a bit of thought to have just the right bit of inflation to seat the tube properly.
Needed tires and tubes for my Vintage Schwinn road bike. Found good value and nice quality.
I had to switch to Continental from another brand of tube, Continental seems to have removable presta valves in the stems. Neither brand advertises a removable valve. What I do not like as much is that this tube has a shaft that is threaded, and the other was smooth. The smooth stem makes it much easier to fill the tube, which if you have 120 lbs tires you know you have to air up weekly. The other down side is that these tubes appear to be thinner. I put a new tube in and was airing it up and it exploded. I have to put slime in my tires because of the goat head thorns and even with a plastic tube guard the tubes still gets punctured. What I had to do is add slime to the tube, install it then air it SLOWLY, rotating the tube to allow the slime to disperse around the tire. Then I was fine. You have to squeeze the tire to make sure that the air is dispersing. If the tire does not feel the same all around you have to rotate it and allow the slime to flow down.
It's hard to get too excited about an inner tube. This one has a presta valve with a method of screwing it down to the rim, which I like. It makes inflation more stable. If you use a pump that screws to the valve, you have to be careful not to over tighten it, as you will unscrew the valve as well as the pump when disconnecting. Then you can start all over again! I imagine that would happen with any brand inner tube. Not extravagantly overpriced, It's always good to have a spare tube or two with you on a ride. I have confidence that Continental is not selling any duds to us dudes.
I put these on and haven't had a single flat....yet !! Seriously they were easy to put on and they have held up very well. They loose very little air.I haven't had to put air in the tubes in months.And most importantly to me like I said, I haven't had one flat since I put them on!!
So far so good. Would buy again.
no complaints, works as advertised and lasts much longer than the REI brand tubes
These tubes fit great and hold up to punishment in my gatorskin tires. Definitely a must have.
Road bike. Excellent quality.
