Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Reliable SUNLITE Standad Schrader Valve Tubes: Explore Multiple Sizes! by Jae Newton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These products cause hysteria. Consider other tubes

These tubes looked very promising out of the box. I installed them and found that one of my tires was flat the next day. After inspecting the pipe, I found a pinpoint leak at a seam about 1/2 inch from the valve stem. It's unlikely that the tube was pinched due to the leak and the fact that I used only my bare hands and no tools to put the tire back on the rim. The pipe was polished nice and clean before the patch, which I've been doing successfully for almost 50 years. The plaster didn't work and immediately flaked off when checked. The second attempt to patch the hose brought the same result. This tube appears to be inert to tire patch cement. I installed another tube and will next determine if my patch is NFG cement before throwing the tube away. The cost of this product is clearly not worth the hassle of returning it. I have been very happy with Sunlite products in the past but not with this one. The whistles have "Kenda" printed on them which is also a big disappointment.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
