Review on 🚴 SUNLITE Presta Valve Tubes - Standard Size by June Reeves

I have driven thousands of miles with Sunlite brand cameras. The ones I'm reviewing today are the light ones. I broke one of them recently, but my tire had a puncture that matched the hole in the tube (it's pretty clear to me that the failure was due to dirt and not the tube's fault). Match the camera you buy to the ride you take. The tubes I am reviewing here are light, I ride them on paved roads and bike paths where there is little dirt, in such conditions I rarely have punctures. your needs. For example, when I lived in Nebraska, where spike punctures were common, I used spike-resistant Sunlite tubes (they cost about twice as much and are a bit heavier). On many occasions I've stopped and waited for my friends to fix spike punctures even though I've never had a puncture. In fact, after about 2,000 miles of riding anti-lug Sunlite tubes in an area known for lugs, I encountered two punctures: (1) a 16D nail my tire caught on the shoulder of a country road, and (2 ) spoken a broken. pushed into the tube. Please note that I am referring to anti-spike tubes for purposes of illustration. The product I am reviewing is not puncture resistant. I have yet to own a brand of light tube that lasted more than 500 miles in the rear while riding "without protection" (light tire, light tube, no insert). Flat shoes are a fact of life for the "more than casual" rider. The tubes I'm reviewing handle the higher limit of that 500 miles. If these cameras can go 500 miles while I ride them (I'm a big racer/Clydesdale) then I don't think the quality is an issue with the Sunlite. Finally, if your tire is flat within 24 hours of replacement. Rohr, you probably did something wrong. Here are some tips from my experience and those I've traveled with that might be helpful. where the stem goes) is in place before you put the tube/tire back on. 2) Run your fingers along the inside of the tire before you fix the puncture, maybe something that popped out of your last tube is still there (or still embedded in the tire wall/tread). Note that whatever pops out of your hose is likely at least a little sharp. Be careful when feeling the inside of your tire. 3) If the situation allows, putting a little powder in the tire or rubbing it in the tube can help to avoid pinching. I also like to inflate the tire to around 20psi and then toss it up a bit to let the tube engage before it builds up to full pressure. 4) Do not overtighten the nut holding the stem and make sure the stem is not skewed before fully inflating the tire. 5) When out on the trail, be careful with the trail pump. Pushing the stem back and forth while pumping can damage your tube or even your rim.
