Review on 🚴 High-Performance Panaracer 2 Pack 700 x 18 / 25 C Presta (French)-80mm Bicycle Tube: Superior Quality for a Smooth Ride by Brandon Wong

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Buy a patch kit "Caveat Emptor " when purchasing these tubes

I wanted these. They are thin and mostly uniform when inflated. I had an issue installing a commuter bus on my Trek Madone for commuting. The original tube expands too much, causing the tire to rub against the frame at one point. These solved the problem. After a day of commuting, a pipe developed a leak, luckily 1/4 mile from home. I found a leak along the seam on the opposite side of the valve where the two pieces of tubing connect. The rubber material doesn't stretch as much as the tubing surrounding this section, causing the seam to tear. After the initial repair I reassembled and re-inflated them only to find another pinhole in the same spot as 1/2" from the original. In the interest of saving the planet I covered the area with Band-Aids, 3 total. If you're lucky, it will be.Let the buyer be vigilant.
