Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Durable SUNLITE Thorn Resistant Presta Valve Tubes in Various Sizes: A Reliable Choice for Your Bike by Warren Hess

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Expensive bike junk

Like many others I've had mixed success with anti-spike hoses (probably all Sunlite) over the years. All failures occurred during the separation of the stem from the tube. The most recent incident was this morning when I discovered a two month old inner tube that completely blew out a tire. I have requested a refund from Revain. At least the glitches are obvious before driving and never happened while driving. I've tried not using the nut that holds the stem to the rim, but apparently that didn't help. this last tube. I would love to see Sunlite fix this design/quality control issue because I really like the puncture proof tubes for my bikes. If they don't fail at the joint between the shaft and the tube, they're excellent at holding air and surviving. $17 for a tube is expensive, but I'd pay if the tube would give me a few years of trouble-free service.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Some issues
