Review on PREMIUM QUALITY Schwalbe Inner Tubes by Marcus West

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Do not buy - three hits against

Firstly, this is a UK seller. Had I known I would never have ordered from them as I prefer American dealers to foreign products. Second, the packaging, a small Tyvek-like envelope, was ripped open, apparently allowing the two bonus metal caps to fall out somewhere far across the Atlantic. Third, the samples were not in retail packaging and did not appear to be of the same quality as the Schawable tubes I purchased from another seller in the US a month ago, giving me the impression they were counterfeit. Please note that Amazon's description shows the tires in retail packaging, so there was no valid reason for sending them without retail packaging.

Pros
  • Puncture resistance - quality butyl rubber offers better protection
Cons
  • Not all will fit
