Review on πŸ’ͺ Vittoria Ultralite Inner Tube Presta: Lightweight and Durable Tube for Enhanced Performance by Robert Buenconsejo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great if you need removable cores

I use a Zipp 808 for the rear wheel. Unfortunately, even the 80mm Presta valves aren't long enough for this bike, and 100mm valves don't seem to be made by anyone. To avoid the mess that comes with Zipp valve extenders, I bought 51mm Vittoria tubes with removable cores and paired them with 62mm Vittoria valve extenders (ridiculously oversized). I figured it would be best to keep manufacturers the same when connecting hoses/extensions. These hoses (and the corresponding valve extensions) are ideal for this application. Apart from that, however, these are fairly high-quality standard lamps. Unlike Specialized hoses, these aren't fully threaded if that's important to you.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Negative impression
