Review on 🚴 Street Fit 360 700x35-40 Bike Tube: Schrader Valve, 32mm - Sunlite by Joe Ashan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

One in four fails in 8 weeks

I bought 6 of these tubes including 2 replacement tubes in transit from Revain I write which I would not have bought if I had them would have seen the cause of the problem. first failure. I've read reviews where others have had issues but I took a chance with the hoses based on the clear description of the valve size and type and Revain Prime. I very rarely use my bikes in different houses. In this case I also put on a new tire. After 8 weeks of use I had to top up the air twice which is a little unusual at 3 miles a day. When I was away for six weeks I left my bike in the living room and when I came back the tire was flat. I looked for punctures and found none in the tire. I foolishly ordered two more of the same tubes (and a set of patches hoping to find a small puncture) and removed the tire and tube for inspection the next day. The picture above shows a clear crack around the valve stem, which would be expected if the old tube was misused, but NOT if the new tube and tire were carefully fitted. I will buy another brand next time and add another review if and when any of my other 3 tubes fail. One of my bikes is hardly used so a better headline would have been '1 of 2 failed in 8 weeks'.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
