Review on 🚴 High-Performance Triple Pack: Continental Race 28 Presta 60mm Tubes for 700 x 18-25c Tires by Aravind Joshi

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Box of Flats

Bought a new set of tires and added a new set of inner tubes (plus spare) as part of the process. The first tube exploded in the first two miles. I was concerned that I might have twisted the tube during installation, so I took a VERY close look at the tube and the inside of the rim before installing the replacement. I pumped up and before I could put the tire back on the bike, it also blew out. It was a pleasant journey home. Further examination showed that both had deflated near the valve. I checked the rim again and there were no obvious problems with the rim. I installed a different pipe (brand) and had no problems. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for the third tube, which is currently installed as part of the rear tire, to burst. After checking the reviews I found other cases where this happened. It looks like a bad batch or pipes. As such . DO NOT BUY!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
