Review on 🚲 Puncture-Resistant Stop-A-Flat Bicycle Tube, Thorn-Proof, No-Flat Design, 24 x 1.75 by Jaleel Akuffo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Total efficiency minus speed

Installation: Fairly easy, especially for a front tire. However, it feels particularly rolling when going uphill and feels quite heavy compared to cycling on flat pavement or going downhill. This may take some practice and some getting used to. Money: Compared to having to fix a typical tire's tube here and there, this easily adds up when you consider that the cost of the tube is about $5 a piece of tube. Pierce and repair patches costing about $3.00 before the entire tube becomes unusable, say this happens every 3 months on moderate wear. That can easily cost the equivalent of a one-piece tube tire in a year that technically lasts a lifetime. If speed is a must then it might not be worth it as they are significantly heavier and more sensible. Rolling resistance, especially when driving uphill. Weight: It's fairly light, but that can be said differently in harsher weather conditions, especially when riding uphill. But it's not something that won't become tolerable with practice and time.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • old
